Re: [gentoo-user] devfsd question
Are you using ALSA? If so you need to setup /etc/?/alsa for two cards. The ? means I can't remember off the top of my head what the subdirectory is.

[gentoo-user] devfsd question
Well, I think I have narrowed down my problem here, but not sure. When I boot into gentoo during startup, I get you have not installed devfs into the system, it is required. Well, I have recompiled, many times trying to find the proble. I can not find where in the start scripts that the following is useddevfsd /dev.

Make sure devfs is in the kernel and auto start at boot is set - it's under file systems in menuconfig. Well, I think I have narrowed down my problem here, but not sure.

Are you using lilo or grub.
