Hi Dan,
ehhm, i remember now there was an issue with devfs in my fist
installation. did i add gentoo=nodevfs as a boot option to enable gentoo
to work without devfs? but i thought i added only to xen0, because xen
1.2 didn't cope with devfs in this version. i will have a look on that
tomorrow or friday when at home and give it a try.
Regards,
Björn
