Re: [expert] Kernel FAILURES!!
Submitted 17-Aug-00 by TriOptimum: 2)I have installed the new kernel 2.4.0test6 with the resierfs patch and after the compiling and reboot i have the following FAILURES in the boot sequence..3 services fails..and they are USb Kheader and Netfs..and i dunno why.. kheader is because your kernel name doesn't have mdk in it and you're using old initscripts. You should update them, or failing that simply disable the service. (There's a typo in an exit call that is causing the failure). Did you compile support for the others (USB and Network filesystems) into the kernel? If not, disable those services as well. Maybe linux is trying to install the support for that file system.. but i don't have it on my partitions.. i have compiled the ke rnel with only vfat , dos, msdos, joliet, iso9660, ext2 and resierFs.. that is all that i nedd.. no more You *do* need devpts. And no, it isn't on your hard drive. It is a virtual filesystem that you are trying to mount in /etc/fstab. You need this in order to be able to open terms in X. From the kernel help: CONFIG_DEVPTS_FS: You should say Y here if you said Y to "Unix98 PTY support" above. You'll then get a virtual filesystem which can be mounted on /dev/pts with "mount -t devpts". This, together with the pseudo terminal master multiplexer /dev/ptmx, is used for pseudo terminal support as described in The Open Group's Unix98 standard: in order to acquire a pseudo terminal, a process opens /dev/ptmx; the number of the pseudo terminal is then made available to the process and the pseudo terminal slave can be accessed as /dev/pts/number. What was traditionally /dev/ttyp2 will then be /dev/pts/2, for example. The GNU C library glibc 2.1 contains the requisite support for this mode of operation; you also need client programs that use the Unix98 API.

Can someone explain me this??? tnks! Hope this helps, as I'm struggling with a similar problem, except on a firewire-enabled Sony laptop. That means I need PCMCIA, USb (tablet and keyboard), ReiserFS, ieee1394, and devfs. -- Regards, Ellick Chan [EMAIL PROTECTED] Aug 17
