thanks, but from your post it sounds like you still had some problems
with your kernel. I think I'll wait until 2.6.0 proper is released
before I try that..
I don't really think that my problem is related to that anyway. My
fstab is kinda messed.. Everything gets mounted correctly but it
generates a lot of errors on boot.. So I'm thinking devfs may not be
able to handle the errors as gracefully. I'll fix that first..
