It sounds like you do not have the required block special files in /dev. |
15 |
|
16 |
With current udev, I use devtmpfs for /dev. It looks like having |
17 |
devtmpfs support compiled into the kernel is enough. |

If you don't have that, or if there is something in /etc/fstab competing |
20 |
against /etc/init.d/udev-mount, that might explain the problem. |
