after reboot rtc dsp missing from /dev
Everytime I reboot my system I find some useful entries such as dsp,rtc
.. not in /dev
moreover ./MAKEDEV audio too doesn't work as a work around I create
these device entries using mknod.
though MAKEDEV not working is a problem in itself but more importantly
why should those entries vanish on reboot ?
I guess following inforamtion should help:
During boot I get following warning
warning: .udevdb already exists on old /dev !
df -h gives followingFilesystem

/dev/sda6 5.5G 3.9G 1.4G 75% /

also output of mount command is following
