Hello, Anyone out there using devfs?? I recently patched my kernel (2.2.14) and configured it to use devfs. I built and installed devfsd, then rebooted the machine. At startup, the kernel reports than devfs is mounted on /dev.... all seems well to this point.
Once init starts, I see messages like this; : Cleaning: /tmp /var/lock /var/run chmod: /dev/tty[p-za-e][0-9a-f]: No such file or directory chown: /dev/tty[p-za-e][0-9a-f]: No such file or directory : : INIT: Entering runlevel: 2 Starting system log daemon: syslogd syslogd: /dev/xconsole: No such file or directory klogd. : : Starting periodic command scheduler: cron.

My /etc/devfsd.conf file is unchanged from that which came in the tar archive with devfsd, it appears to be configured to enable full compatibility mode, is this correct?? Any pointers appreciated, Shaun
