After spending the last two days trying to figure out why the /dev/nell and /dev/zero devices with giving me premission denied because they were set to 600 instead of 666 - it turns out that udev was never starting. For some reason the init scripts installed without udev support. I reinstalled initscripts and it did have initscripts support after being reinstalled. Apparently because the server was still running FC2 instead of FC3 the install of initscripts - specifically the rc.sysinit file didn't have udev support. So - after wasting two days I finially got my server working again. There needs to be some way that ensures that if the kernel expects udev that it doesn't just load up half way. In my case udev was being built into the initd files but wasn't loading on the system. ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
