Is there something else that must be tweaked? I've changed each instance of devfs=mount to devfs=nomount, have run lilo -v, and have checked in services running, where devfs is shown as not running, not to start at boot and udev is shown as running, to start at boot ...
What am I missing here? Log-in is now lightning fast in comparison, of course, but still a long string of those errors during both boot and shutdown. ...?
/dev/fb0 is the video frame buffer. That node is present on my system, but for some reason it is not being created on yours. Are you up to date with your updates?
Maybe it would help if you created it manually. Try putting mknod /dev/fb0 c 29 0 at the end of /etc/rc.local
Hmmm. No effect, at least upon the boot-up error messages after doing so. I /did/ get some interesting visual effects at shutdown time, but other than that, no noticeable difference.
Thanks, will have to research it some more. It wouldn't appear to be critical, at least, as all seems normal otherwise.
