 Posted: Sun Jul 25, 2004 2:19 am Post subject: Missing sys in /proc |
 |
|
It seems that the sys directory is not getting created in /proc on my system.
Other items and directories are there - bus, driver, ide, etc.
Has anyone seen this problem?
I'm running kernel 2.6.7-gentoo-r11 with udev.
Thanks,
Michael |

/sys isn't supposed to be in /proc..
I had this problem and it promptly went away when I mkdir /sys .
I hope this helps. |

I have a sys in the root. Plus I have two other machines here that have sys in /proc and root.
The way I found this was the following error running nautilus-cd-burner:
| Code: | | ** (nautilus-cd-burner:17748): WARNING **: Couldn't read /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info |
So unless my other machines are wrong and the cd-burner software is wrong it seems it needs to be there.

In case any one runs across this, the solution is to:
Compile Sysctl support (General Setup -> Sysctl support)
into your kernel.
Solution from comp.os.inux newsgroup.
