Description Ken McFelea 2002-04-15 16:00:50 UTC

I've compiled the kernel 5 times and I still get a message at boot warning me
that devfs was not compiled into the kernel. I've looked at the .config file and
devfs IS set to automount. So far I've not experienced any problems but the
message bugs me. I'm using Kernel 2.4.19r1

Jon?

Try this:
cp the .config file somwhere safe (don't mv it)
then, type the following commands:

make mrproper
cp <the .config file's new location> .config
make dep
make all bzImage modules

then install it however you normally install it.

Since I compile all of my kernels as non-root, I become root and cp over the
bzImage from arch/i386/boot/bzImage

Try that and let us know how it goes.

This appears to have solved the problem.  Many thanks.

No problem. I'm closing this bug.
