So far no problem. With the devfsd I have a problem. I installed it from SuSE CD. after reading the README file I copied mygrep to /sbin/init.d as said and while in /sbin/init.d directory I did patch -p0 < /usr/share/doc/packages/devfsd/boot.diff to get the boot script working with the devfsd as said. however the patch fails and the devfsd is not functioning. Am I patching wrong or the boot.diff file is broke Or is there other way to get my modules.conf working since none of my modules are locatable hereis the boot.rej file Thanks <p>*************** *** 15,25 **** . /etc/rc.config echo "Running $0" ECHO_RETURN=$rc_done echo -n "Mounting /proc device" mount -n -t proc proc /proc || ECHO_RETURN=$rc_failed echo -e "$ECHO_RETURN" # # possibly there are file systems on devices, which need a kernel --- 15,30 ---- . /etc/rc.config echo "Running $0" + # Source mygrep helper + . /sbin/init.d/mygrep + ECHO_RETURN=$rc_done echo -n "Mounting /proc device" mount -n -t proc proc /proc || ECHO_RETURN=$rc_failed echo -e "$ECHO_RETURN" + # devfs support for 2.3/2.4 kernels (boot.devfs is in devfsd package) + test -e /sbin/init.d/boot.devfs && source /sbin/init.d/boot.devfs # # possibly there are file systems on devices, which need a kernel <p><p><p> -- Togan Muftuoglu toganm@turk.net 100% MS FREE Absolutely no component of Microsoft was used in the generation or posting of this e-mail.
