devfs kernel option not working

TheCoop · Posted: Thu Jun 27, 2002 9:49 pm Post subject: devfs kernel option not working

ive enabled /dev filesystem in the kernel options and recompiled, but when i dir /dev i get the normal /dev files eg ttyS01 etc etc.

therefore i cant load the soundcard module (i get insmod: No such device). What is going on with the devfs?

you most likely forgot the mount /boot before you copied the bzImage to it.

I _THINK_ there is supposed to be an entry in /etc/fstab

EDIT: Here is the link that made my think this was the case.
