I was trying to compile my 2.6.5 kernel in debian, when after some actions I can't recall now, the /dev directory underwent some modifications:
Somehow there appeared subfolders, and the dev files could be found only it's category. For instance in the folder /dev/partitions I've found my harddrives...There was no sign to the long list of files that I was used to in kernel 2.4
I tried to do the same with slackware and other debian I had, but I wasn't successful. Does anyone knows how to configure the kernel for it, or maybe it has no relation to it?
You probably set "mount devfs on boot" when compiling the kernel. This
is not a recommended option, as far as I recall.
