hello, I have a problem trying to boot an devfs enabled kernel on suse 7.3 here's what I've done: taken the 2.4.16-suse source, enabled 'devfs' and 'mount devfs at boottime', compiled, changed 'USE_DEVFS' to yes in /etc/rc.config, crossed my fingers and rebooted; it tells me it's not able to mount partitions found in fstab and that's it. the system is updated, I have devfsd rpm installed, /etc/devfsd.conf looks ok to me (I'm not expert, but I haven't modified it either). It must be a catch somewhere...yast help tells me that setting USE_DEVFS should do it, I can change fstab to look at new locations ('/dev/ide/host0/...etc), but then I won't be able to boot a non-devfs kernel... anybody who made it work? thanks, dragos PS the kernel I made boots ok if I give 'devfs=nomount' at lilo start. (I'm using it now to send this mail).
