kernel gds-2.6.10-r6
as in topic, lilo says:
Code:
lilo
Warning: '/proc/partitions' does not match '/dev' directory structure.
    Name change: '/dev/hda4' -> '/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part4'
    The kernel was compiled without DEVFS, but the '/dev' directory structure
        implements the DEVFS filesystem.
part_nowrite check:: No such file or directory


but DEVFS is compiled into the kernel (not as a module):

Code:
cat /usr/src/linux/.config | grep DEVFS
CONFIG_DEVFS_FS=y
CONFIG_DEVFS_MOUNT=y
CONFIG_DEVFS_DEBUG=y


the same configuration works fine on my old kernel (2.6.9)

any ideas?

I don't know the how to fix DEVFS. However, DEVFS is depreciated isn't it? Why not use udev?
