Hola!
I have just installed gentoo to the point of compiling the kernel and rebooting. At this point I get a message saying I don't have
DEVFS support? I checked make menuconfig, but found no such option (there was a /dev/something but it was selected to be compiled into the kernel). I'm using the "gentoo-sources" kernel
ideas?  |

You will want to make sure (when using the make menuconfig option) that under the File Systems section you have a "*" in front of the following (note: you will also need to have experimental options for the Kernel allowed... this should be under the first menu screen):
| Code: | [*] /dev file system support (EXPERIMENTAL)
[*] Automatically mount at boot |
This should install devfs from the kernel side and will make sure that it is loaded up on startup.
If you have already created a kernel you can go back and check to see if these options are checked and then try again if they weren't.
You will also need to do a:
This will set up the system end of devfs and the daemon for devfs.
Hmmm... I think that is it
