I understand the kernel mounts root by itself. But the one working device node is for another partition, what makes no sense to me at all. In what script is udev supposed to be started? The system gets to mount sys and proc, then complains it couldn't remove /dev/.devfsd. And mount tells me /dev would be mounted as devfs. All this with varying kernel builds and udev versions. --- Thorsten Wilms ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT products in your business?
