I took your suggestions and ran both the mtree and
MAKEDEV lines on both machines, and rebooted, and
still, only one has the acpi device.
secondly, I am also very diligent at running the cd
/usr/src/etc && env DESTDIR=/ make distrib-dirs line
during every upgrade
and lastly the machine that has the device node (but
also gives me the error), was installed fresh
(reformatted) from a snapshot on or around June 8, and
-following-current (post 3.7 instructions) does not
mention anything about devices or updates regarding
acpi to /etc for i386.
so, for the other machine that is "missing" the
/dev/acpi... I had installed from a snap (reformatted)
I think in the middle of 3.6 and 3.7, and I thought I
also was very diligent with my upgrading, keeping
current within a week or so, doing all the
-following-current instructions etc.). For good
measure, this morning I copied over the mtree from
etc3.7.tgz and ran it. then upgraded all my src via
cvs again (updates since yesterday), and reran all the
steps, making GENERIC, make obj, make build, that make
distrib-dirs line, etc.... (and like I said earlier,
I had run MAKEDEV). the whole deal, and still, no
acpi device.
so, both machines work perfectly, (even though I am
getting that insecurity mail about missing) but it
bothers me I don't know what machine is currently in
the proper state, whether that device should actually
be there or not,
any other ideas?
thanks
