sounds like yet another victom of the broken paulus kernel .config
reconfigure your 2.4 kernel and under Filesystems turn DEVFS *OFF*
all of it every devfs option turn it off, not module, off.
then install that kernel and you will be fine.

I can try that but I cant do anything that involves editing files.
Using a different kernel makes no difference.
The problem is not having any write access to the partition.
Your help is much appreciated.
