Description Aaron Peterson 2004-05-17 19:47:12 UTC

i have the initrd thingie with genkernel

This bug has been happening... for quite some time now.. I haven't been able to copy down the exact error, because it happens early in the boot process... and I searched through my log files.. but saw nothing. (it's before metalog started)

everything seems to start up normally

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.reboot the machine
2. watch
3.




this started happening... before I tried udev.

Then, I tried udev, and nothing changed.

I then pointed udev to /udev/ instead of /dev/
and my devices are all screwed up and I have no idea what to try to do with this
devfs and udev crud.

lstat(2)
... many symbolic links were encountered in translat- ing the pathname ...
access(2), chmod(2),
chown(2), utimes(2), symlink(7 ... A lstat() function call appeared in 4.2BSD ... 


i'm just getting really frustrated by this..
~x86
and have no idea what to do.


it was some sort of size...
man lstat said something about a size

I think it's a probalem with devfs
(shift page up didn't show me the stuff)
