You will need to do this when udev is not active, since otherwise the static /dev is hidden. Either use a Live CD or add init=/bin/bash to the kernel commandline to make it accessible.

Also I checked on another system which does not give this message and it seems that even that system does have /dev/.udev/ Kushal Koolwal I do blog at http://blogs.koolwal.net/ _ Bing™ brings you maps, menus, and reviews organized in one place.

Would leaving /dev/console and deleting > everything under /dev/.udev/ work? You should rm -rf /dev/.udev/, but it is better to leave the rest of /dev alone. That way you may be able to access the system even if udev breaks completely. Actually I only know about the problem of /dev/console being necessary from my own experience. I once moved my root filesystem to another partition using "cp -ax", not considering that this would leave out everything under /dev. The cloned root system worked fine until I booted a kernel without an initramfs. Sven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Assuming Kushal uses an initramfs, without it the boot process will halt rather early if the kernel cannot find /dev/console.
