Shared memory (shm) in the 2.4 kernels is handled by a virtual filesystem, so just like /proc, you need to mount it on boot by putting something like this into /etc/fstab: none /var/shm shm defaults 0 0 (Is /var/shm the right spot for this? What happens if one mounts /var/shm and then /var?) Of course, you also need to create the /var/shm mountpoint.
