Try udev (http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/udev-guide.xml) |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
If you still got problems, do one of the following |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
1. recompile your kernel to not have devfs or just not mount it at boot, |
| 18 |
then add 'gentoo=nodevfs' to your kernel args |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
2. If you do not want to recompile your kernel, and its set to mount devfs |
| 21 |
at boot, add 'gentoo=nodevfs devfs=nomount' to your kernel args |
| 22 |
