This is weird. I have no clue as to what's happening. On my systems I just included the devfs file system, told it to start on boot and it was there. I assume it's in the kernel somewhere as I've never had to put it anywhere and that's reinforced by what I see in the docs.

Does the system start and let you login - from the fact you say it won't print I assume it does start and mounts the drives? Are your drives mounted? If so then devfs is running (ps -ax } grep devfs will show you)and printing is another problem.

What exactly do you mean when it won't print - did you merge cups or lpd?

ost ready to throw out gentoo. I cannot get devfsd to start. Since it will not
start or load itself, I have no printing, and without printing the whole thing is
useless. Now I have done all of the hoop jumping, 2 dozen kernel recompiles and
different checks all over. I have yet to find any info on where the "devfsd /dev"
command is to be put within the system startup scripts. Is there anyone who
knows, or is this a special secret. Help is appreciated, as time for me is
running out.


cheers
