Migrated from Slackware to RH5. When I invoke a ppp link with my isp,There are 2 lines in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit in the RedHat installation:
tail -f /blah indicates "proc filesytem not mounted." Here is the
kicker:
proc is compiled in my kernel, it's in my directory tree, and I can
cat /proc/blah successfully. However, mount doesn't show it and when
I try to initialize from fstab I rcv "none busy or /proc already
mounted."
Aside from this, the link, ip masq, fw, etc. is fine. I've looked in
/etc/rc.d/blah
hoping to find a commented-out script command but unsure given that
/proc is mount (so it appears). Where, how, and why?Domo (no Ja'pun intended)!

mount -f /
mount -f /proc
The -f in the second mount means "fake" a mount,
so an already mounted drive get's added to mtab.
Sounds like your "fake" mount is missing.
