Hi, i have a problem with the MAKEDEV tool the output from : cd /dev ; /usr/sbin/MAKEDEV audio (as root) is for example: mv: cannot move dsp- to dsp : Operation not permitted
so you're not using devfs?
Sven?
Oh, sorry for my late answer.. First I tried devfs. I have the Solo1 Soundcard and I installed the alsa driver. I think that I need the driver : snd-es1938 and write it into the file /etc/modules.d/alsa. (devfs is enabled in the kernel) nothing happend because the driver wasn
Oh, sorry for my late answer.. First I tried devfs. I have the Solo1 Soundcard and I installed the alsa driver. I think that I need the driver : snd-es1938 and write it into the file /etc/modules.d/alsa. (devfs is enabled in the kernel) nothing happend because the driver wasn´t found at boot-time. then I tried the method with the kernel-driver. loading the driver (soundcore and esssolo1) is OK but the rest with MAKEDEV not....
This seems to be a general problem with MAKEDEV, it doesn't work with devfs, but there is no indication of why (apparently you can't "mv" a file within devfs). This really needs to be fixed for old-timer sysadmins who think they know how to add new devices. I propose a check for devfs and if you call MAKEDEV on a devfs file system, it should tell you 1. devices aren't made with MAKEDEV any more 2. devices should be auto-created and if they aren't something else is wrong 3. devices have different names now so maybe it is being created elsewhere 4. read /usr/src/linux/Documents/filesystems/devfs. A message like this would have saved me many hours in my recent attempt to install a printer.
Sven, so why did you think that you needed to run MAKEDEV at all? Is sound not working for you?
Closing for lack of feedback. Please reopen this bug if you are still there and experiencing a problem.
