Yeah, I thought so too. > Do you have that running? It is running, yes: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> ps ax | grep devfsd 23 ? S 0:00 /sbin/devfsd /dev (I found that if devfsd isn't running and devfs is attempted mounted, a "bad superblock" message will stop the bootup. It put me off for several days.) Hm, I have the devfs=mount line in my lilo.conf, and compiled into the kernel that it should be loaded at bootup. And dmesg says: devfs: v1.12c (20020818) Richard Gooch ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) devfs: boot_options: 0x1 and Mounted devfs on /dev But now, it seems like it isn't mounted... Weird. mount says: /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro) proc on /proc type proc (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part2 on /usr type ext3 (rw) /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part3 on /home type ext3 (rw,noexec) /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/part1 on /tmp type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev) /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part9 on /var type ext3 (rw) /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part5 on /home/felles type ext3 (rw) /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part6 on /usr/local/src type ext3 (rw) /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/part5 on /var/junk type ext2 (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) Any ideas...?
