Hello, I recently got Debian running on an IBM X31 laptop. I installed Woody bf24 kernel first, then installed a 2.4.21 kernel-image from unstable. Today I built my own kernel 2.4.21 and when I run lilo, I get the following message:
Warning: '/proc/partitions' does not match '/dev' directory structure. Name change: '/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disk' -> '/dev/hda' The kenrel was compiled with DEVFS_FS, but 'devfs=mount' was omitted as a kernel command-line boot parameter; hence, the '/dev' directory structure does not reflect DEVFS_FS device names. I did not originally include devfs in my kernel config, but I got this message from lilo and so I went back and added it. I still get this warning message after adding devfs to the kernel and putting 'append="devfs=mount" in lilo.conf (as a global option and as an image option). I looked for this on google and google groups, and I saw two messages including this warning, but they were in languages I cannot read. What does this message mean? >From reading the search results, it sounds like devfs is a mixed bag and I don't think I need it. But, then again, I might. How do I decide this? Thanks very much for any pointers or suggestions. Brian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
