Re: [gentoo-user] failures

Rick,
	
	Try running "dmesg |grep devfs", the output should read something like 
"Mounted devfs on /dev". If that's not there, then you may not have your 
new kernel installed or booted.

   For 3 weeks I have been trying t build a system, on a PIII w/
a 60g HD. The system builds ok from livecd, but when started on its own
I get 3 errors.
1. devfs not installed, bull shit I have set every thing on in
filesystem except debugging and it is set to [*], used the setup from a
running gentoo system, same mobo same drives types. tempfs installed on
boot to /etc/mtab, /etc/fstab is the same except hda partition a little
different.
2. I have /dev/hda1 /boot ext2
  /dev/hda2 swap
  /dev/hda3 /  reiserfs  all on a 30g of space
  /dev/hda3 /extendedall of the rest of hd 

3. no networking, even thought I have set everthing up in setup and it
worked nicely. even brought over hosts, nsswitch & resolve from working
machine. 

I can get the msg from /var/log/msg file if need be, not much there.
any help appreciated. Really getting tired of this, it should work
without this much effort.
cheers

If you do this:

cat /usr/src/linux/.config | \
grep -i devfs | \
grep -v "# CONFIG"

Do you see this:

CONFIG_DEVFS_FS=y
CONFIG_DEVFS_MOUNT=y

I apologize for asking this, but I do not know exactly where your are
at, so does /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage match /boot/bzImage,
and is the date later than that of /usr/src/linux/.config?

Did you check the "install automatically at boot" (or 
equivalent) for devfs in menuconfig?
