Re: Kernel 2.4.13 has no /dev files or info with lspci



The Problem with /dev was that somehow devfs crawled into tthe kernel.  I swear I didn't to it :) - Took it out and the devices are in fine now.  Thanks,

OK, i think this is because you don't have PCI device name
database compiled into the kernel. Try to add it.
This is in General Setup section.

/dev does not have my hdaxx partitions thus i cannot mount them

any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Maybe you added devfs support to your kernel without installing devfsd ?
so apt-get install devfsd, that should work after that.
(i think you wont even have to reboot)
Or recompile without devfs support. (this is in filesystem support section)
Or pass the kernel the devfs=nomount option at boot time.
