How can I regenerate this file? When I try to go into KDE, it bombs. Can't initialize mouse and display.

Thanks,
Brian

Isn't there a kernel option you can use called "gentoo=nodevfs"?

I remember reading something about it in the installation instructions. It said to use it with 2.2 kernels, but I'm sure it's workable for systems with 2.4...

Hi!

devfsd.conf is from sys-apps/baselayout

You might try remerging baselayout.

If that doesn't work, unpack the rc-scripts tarball located in /usr/portage/sys-apps/portage/files somewhere temporary and copy the included devfsd.conf to /etc
