 |
|
When running /sbin/lilo I get the following error :
| Quote: | Warning: '/proc/partitions' does not match '/dev' directory structure.
Name change: '/dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/disc' -> '/dev/hda'
The kernel was compiled with DEVFS_FS, but 'devfs=mount' was omitted
as a kernel command-line boot parameter; hence, the '/dev' directory
structure does not reflect DEVFS_FS device names.
|
I found this post on the topic that suggest :
| Quote: | After the line that says
root = /dev/hda3
add a new line that says
append = "devfs=mount" |
The poster lilo.conf was
| Code: | image = /boot/kernel-2.4.20-gentoo-r7
root = /dev/hda3
#root = /devices/discs/disc0/part3
label = Gentoo
read-only # read-only for checking |
Mine is the standard recent genkernel one :
| Code: | # For recent genkernel users
image=/boot/kernel-2.4.22
label=gentoo
read-only
root=/dev/ram0
append="init=/linuxrc real_root=/dev/hda3"
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.22 |
So I tried to add append = "devfs=mount" after the line that say root=/dev/ram0 but i got the same error when re-running /sbin/lilo. I also tried to add it to my existing append line and got the same error.

I think in something like 'devfs=mount' mount would refer to the mount point...such as 'devfs=/dev'...not real sure...never saw that error before so give that a shot and see if it works...add it to your append line.

I performed a search on google. This error seems to only happen to Debian users. Weird.
Basically, it seems that mean that devfs was compiled in the kernel but unused. It can be safely ignored.
I don't know exactly what is in my kernel since I used genkernel but I will follow the advice and ignore it.
Let's hope the remaining of the install process will work.
