I've used devfs & LABELs in my fstab before fine. That really shouldn't be the problem. Your root gets mounted, yes? Then /proc and /proc is needed (I don't know the file) for the LABEL/UUID-> device stuff. > Well, I *could* have hacked all the necessary scripts if I knew what > they were, I guess.

I couldn't run devfs on a fresh install of RedHat 7 either; the use of labels in fstab to identify partitions seems to preclude this. Well, I *could* have hacked all the necessary scripts if I knew what they were, I guess. Is there any means of using devfs and disk/partition levels together? P.S.

RedHat 7.0 anaconda installer doesn't support devfs
Redhat support got back to me today and said 7.0 doesnt support upgrades to systems running devfs. But I thought sure than Linus blessed it! :-) Does anyone have a fix? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
