Hi! |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I've copied my backup to my new / in a raid device, and when I boot I |
| 4 |
get this error: |
| 5 |
Your system seems to be missing critical device files |
| 6 |
in /dev ! Although you may be running udev or devfs, |
| 7 |
the root partition is missing these required files ! |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
To rectify this situation, please do the following: |
| 10 |
mkdir /mnt/fixit |
| 11 |
mount --bind / /mnt/fixit |
| 12 |
cp -a /dev/* /mnt/fixit/dev/ |
| 13 |
umount /mnt/fixit |
| 14 |
rmdir /mnt/fixit |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
You may refer to these instructions at /etc/issue. |
| 17 |
If you previously had an issue file, it has been |
| 18 |
backed up at /etc/issue.devfix. Once you've fixed |
| 19 |
your system, you will have to restore your old issue |
| 20 |
file in order to get rid of this warning. |
| 21 |

Thanks for using Gentoo ! :) |

Obviously, I've followed all steps, rebooted and my system stops |
| 26 |
loading services after "setting hostname". |
| 27 |
After that, I booted a livecd, copied its /dev files and the system |
| 28 |
hangs there... |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
As I have moved the issue file, I don't see the message, but I'm not |
| 31 |
sure if I've really solved my problem or not. (probably not) |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
I'm using udev, and created special devices null, console and initctl: |
| 34 |
afrodita ~ # ls -lsa /dev/console |
| 35 |
0 crw------- 1 root tty 5, 1 oct 23 01:59 /dev/console |
| 36 |
afrodita ~ # ls -lsa /dev/null |
| 37 |
0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 oct 23 01:59 /dev/null |
| 38 |
afrodita ~ # ls -lsa /dev/initctl |
| 39 |
0 prw------- 1 root root 0 oct 23 01:59 /dev/initctl |
| 40 |
and udev did the rest: |
| 41 |
# ls -lsa /dev/ |
| 42 |
Display all 184 possibilities? (y or n) |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
What other devidces do I need? |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
Meanwhile, Iable to start services... |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
# rc-update show |
| 49 |
bootmisc | boot |
| 50 |
checkfs | boot |
| 51 |
checkroot | boot |
| 52 |
clock | boot |
| 53 |
localmount | boot |
| 54 |
modules | boot |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
afrodita ~ # /etc/init.d/postfix start |
| 57 |
* Starting saslauthd ... [ ok ] |
| 58 |
* Starting postfix ... [ !! ] |
| 59 |
afrodita ~ # /etc/init.d/cyrus start |
| 60 |
* Starting cyrus imapd ... [ ok ] |
| 61 |
afrodita ~ # /etc/init.d/postgrey start |
| 62 |
* Starting Postgrey ... |
| 63 |
|

TIA, |
