Hello,

I've had some problems with beta4, but they may still exist in rc1.

I've installed a vanilla beta3, then upgraded to beta 4. Standard kernel
included in the ISO, no special modifications (expect switching from oss
to alsa sound driver).

At beginning it worked ok.
Then I noticed some things didn't work.
I saw that devfsd was no more launched at boot !

After investigating, adding "devfs=mount" explicitely in the kernel
command line (via grub/lilo) solved the problem.

It's strange, because I never had to do this before.
(I've kept copy of the /etc in my old setups and compared)

Maybe this can be a hint to someone that has devfs problems ?
