kernel 2.4.x and unstable

[Ross Burton <ross.burton@mail.com>]

Yes, it's me again.

Once this is sorted I'll stop bugging you, I promise!

Does the kernel-image for 2.4.x from unstable come with devfsd on?  I
tried mounting a zip disk (external ppa) and the device was
/dev/scsi/0/... not /dev/sda4 where it normally sits.  I tried
installing devfsd and it didn't work out-of-the-box.

I had a read of /etc/init.d/devfsd and it quits if it can't find
/dev/.devfsd.  I created that and rebooted, but then when devfsd starts
it sits on "Creating symlinks" and hangs.  I tried moving /dev to
/olddev and creating an empty /dev with just .devfsd in, and this really
broke the boot sequence!

Can anyone who has devfsd/kernel 2.4 working give me a hand?

Thanks for any help,
Ross Burton
