Hi all, firstly please excuse possible line wrap problems and lack of my usual gpg signature. I'm sending this via squirrel mail for reasons described below.
I'm running sid with a 2.6.0-test2 kernel with devfs. Yesterday I did a dist-upgrade and then shut down. The devfsd package was _not_ upgraded. I'm not sure if it is relevant but initrd-tools was upgraded. I rebooted today to find that none of the old style device nodes are being created in /dev. For example my root partition /dev/hda4 is not there. As you can guess this causes no end of problems. The first problem was that the file system check failed because /dev/hda4 could not be found. I worked around this by editing my /etc/fstab and replaced /dev/hda4 with /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 and similarly for my other partitions. However this was not enough to get a usable system. Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated.
