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.
