It sounds like you do not have the required block special files in /dev. With current udev, I use devtmpfs for /dev. It looks like having devtmpfs support compiled into the kernel is enough. If you don't have that, or if there is something in /etc/fstab competing against /etc/init.d/udev-mount, that might explain the problem. -JimC -- James Cloos <[email protected]> OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6
