Thanks Daniel, I am using the standard (unmodified) 2.2.19-12 kernel from the Debian distribution. The devfsd package is not installed. I checked out the website, but I am not sure if this would solve my problem.
I am not mounting this manually, or I would do it the way I want it. I will check /etc/init.d... I appreciate the info, Daniel.

JP, You don't give much information, but maybe you're using a kernel with devfs mounted automatically (or you, or one of your /etc/init.d scripts, are mounting it manually). Since devfs is a virtual file system (I like to think of its analogy to the /proc fs), any changes made to it are not preserved across reboots (or actually across unmounting and remounting it). If my 'devfs' guess is correct, you can find more information about it at: http://www.atnf.csiro.au/~rgooch/linux/docs/devfs.html Hope this helps, Daniel ---------------------------------------- Content-Type: /; name="Attachment: 1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Description: ----------------------------------------
