Is udevd running? I suppose that should take care of the default device nodes. I spotted this bug while trying to get udevd running - so the short answer is no. However, the /dev/null file remains a bug. The inability to get udevd running results from an error in the main install documentation - which has one running make menuconfig, then genkernel - except the way it is documented, one is never using the config file one has just configured, so I could never get DEVTMPFS switched on in my running kernel (until I figured out how to specify a config file properly). Oh, so CONFIG_DEVTMPFS CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT are missing? *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 408947 *** |
