OK, something weird is going on with a new install I just did. I might have hosed /dev. I though udev takes card of /dev?
When I boot the new install, I get a kernel panic about the root= line in my grub.conf. So from the grub boot menu I press c and entered: root (hd0,0) Filesytem type is reiserfs... kernel /boot/kern[TAB] (grub auto-completes) root=/dev[TAB] Error 11: Unrecongnized device string. Did I break something or forget something? I booted into the gentoo install CD and mounted /dev/sda1 and /dev on my disk is empty. I started to mknod some devices, however that could take all night. Besides, I thought udev handles that? Or do I need a base set of device files for the kernel until udev kicks in?
