Subject: Error message on bootup (USB)
Date: Fri,  2 Aug 2002 09:34:02 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1028298842.3d4a985a5d418@webmail.tulane.edu> (raw)

Just recently I compiled my kernel for the first time (really not as
tough as it seems), but now I get an error message when the computer
starts up:

Mounting USB filesystem: mount: mount point /proc/bus/usb does not exist

Nevertheless, my USB mouse works fine, and there doesn't seem to be a
problem at all.  Poking around in /etc showed this in rc.sysinit:

action $"Mounting USB filesystem: "  mount -t usbdevfs usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb

So in conclusion, did I simply forget to include something during the
make config?  Is it safe to remove the above line from rc.sysinit, or 
should I go back and recompile?  Any advice would be appreciated.

Dave.
