That's normal; DevFS does not exist for 2.2, which is why we hacked around that with a userspace DevFS emulation. It's very ugly, but it works; the only thing is that you will see that error message during bootup while booting a 2.2 kernel. Nothing wrong with that, that's expected. > I've checked the initrd and /dev is there with what looks to be all of > the required devices. > > I wonder if something didn't get left out of the old 2.2.25-mac > kernel... It worked for me... Not specifically on an LC475, though, and those are (IIRC) reported to have a 68LC040 processor rather than a 'full' 68040. Is yours swapped out for a real one? If not, then it probably won't work at all; you'll get bus errors all the time. [...] > Is there any way to log all of the kernel events during the install?
