|
I have forgotten to build a kernel with DEVFS support, after rebooting some script notified me and I redid the kernel config.
After recompiling I transfered bzImage to /boot/bzImage and rebooted
Again: No DEVFS detected...
This repeated about 3 times and I'm getting a bit frustrated...
How to correct my initial mistake? (please no reinstall.... takes ages) |

Are you using Grub as your bootloader?
Did you edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to boot using the new kernel you compiled?
You may be simply booting with the original kernel, not the new one.

If you have a seperate boot partition, make sure it is mounted before copying bzImage to /boot. _________________ There's someone in my head but it's not me - Pink Floyd |

Amen to that!
Also, to see what kernel you are running, run "uname -a". _________________ I don't believe in witty sigs. |

I guess I didn't make sure it was mounted again.
When I noticed /boot/grub/ was gone I emerged sys-xxxx/grub en reinstalled it... You can guess if it worked
Well... I started a new fresh install on both of my desktops now (both 1.2) and the fasted is now almost done (final phase, config files).
Thanks all and indeed: make sure it is mounted... |
