Hi everybody, first mail on this list.
I am running gentoo 2.4.20-r5 on a toshiba laptop and I have devfs running. Problem is, it doesn't create any new devices when I connect stuff, like a usb floppy for example. I also have this nifty little touchpad (Synaptics cpad) that works as a secondary

I have two sound cards, but only one of them gets an entry in

Is there something that I need to do in, say devfsd.conf, to have an

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.

Hey Ian,
Ahait took me 2 months (well on an off :) ) to figure out how to get
my gentoo box talking to the two sound cards (an SBLIve! and an SB
AUdioPCI) in my system via alsa. But I
think it was all damn worth it. I plan to use the box as a dj mixing
station and with my mixing coming around

ost ready to throw out gentoo. I cannot get devfsd to start. Since it will not
start or load itself, I have no printing, and without printing the whole thing is
useless. Now I have done all of the hoop jumping, 2 dozen kernel recompiles and
different checks all over. I have yet to find any info

You do not sound very cheery Rick. :-D
Be patient, you will get it working. Try this:
cat /usr/src/linux/.config |grep DEVFS
You should see something like this:
CONFIG_DEVFS_FS=y
CONFIG_DEVFS_MOUNT=y
If not, go to /usr/src/linux/ and run make menuconfig and go to File

Build your kernel again (per the gentoo instructions) and save your old

This is weird. I have no clue as to what's happening. On
my systems I just included the devfs file system, told it
to start on boot and it was there. I assume it's in the
kernel somewhere as I've never had to put it anywhere and
that's reinforced by what I see in the docs.

Make sure devfs is in the kernel and auto start at boot is set - it's under
file systems in menuconfig.

Are you using lilo or grub. I use lilo and besides having it in the kernel,
you need to put in in the append line of lilo.conf

If you select the menuconfig option to start devfs at boot you don't need
this option. I run lilo and don't have it.
