is your "append devfs mount" or "devfs nomount" in lilo.conf? I (and last I read the errita for 8.1, so did Mandrake) recommend "nomount" if using the kernel that came with the CDs. if you edit lilo.conf, remember to type "lilo" as root in a text console, without the quotes to get lilo to check for errors and update itself, then reboot. Devfs has made a few changes in how things in /dev work, along with some problems for supermount, that 8.0 did not have.
