Yes, it's me again. Once this is sorted I'll stop bugging you, I promise!
Does the kernel-image for 2.4.x from unstable come with devfsd on? I tried mounting a zip disk (external ppa) and the device was /dev/scsi/0/... not /dev/sda4 where it normally sits. I tried installing devfsd and it didn't work out-of-the-box. I had a read of /etc/init.d/devfsd and it quits if it can't find /dev/.devfsd. I created that and rebooted, but then when devfsd starts it sits on "Creating symlinks" and hangs. I tried moving /dev to /olddev and creating an empty /dev with just .devfsd in, and this really broke the boot sequence! Can anyone who has devfsd/kernel 2.4 working give me a hand? Thanks for any help, Ross Burton
