I don't remember whether the last kernel with devfs was 2.6.12 or 2.6.13. However, if you use a UML image from uml.nagafix.co.uk, you will not need to enable devfs - and on existing images creating the device node correctly after loop-mounting works. > find . -name "Kconfig*" | xargs grep "Netlink device emulation" > > comes up empty. > > So, why do you think such an option exists? It was probably deleted some time ago - the netlink device is a 2.0 interface supported for the whole 2.2 cycle (maybe 2.4, because I remember such an option). There are few chances that you need that option however (if you have a program needing it, a newer version surely exists since ages). -- Inform me of my mistakes, so I can keep imitating Homer Simpson's "Doh!".
