Very painfull day today.

no devfsd so had no mounting of some partitions and a system that just plain would not go. Found that with devfsd-1.3.25 on it has a big problem with 2.4.19 kernel, or is it the other way around, bloody linux.

Thank god I could use the gentoo 1.2 cdrom to get inot the system and repair the damage.....

Hope noone else has this problem...

Regards
Tim

You should have been able to use the 'devfs=nomount' passed to your kernel to stop it from being used.

Your right of course but the devfs system is soooooo handy.

That would of meant I could not use my cdburner, scanner, camera etc etc.
