 |
|
When I run /sbin/lilo I get this message:
'/proc/partitions' does not match '/dev' directory structure.
Name change: '/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc' --> '/dev/sda'
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.
What does this mean? And how can I fix it?
Thanks.

Are you wanting to use devfs? and can you post your lilo.conf file?

Are you running lilo from the livecd? Lilo generates this message because the devfs isn't bound to the /dev directory inside your chroot environment (the handbook tells you to mount your drive at /mnt/gentoo and then chroot into it).
As long as you've build devfs into your kernel, you should be okay. You can always double-check by building your kernel, booting it, and then running lilo again (this time, the devfs will be mounted). |
