I am using 2.1.117+devfs. Works quite well, devfs is cool. I have the
following problems with it, though:
- quake doesn't start; says cannot open /dev/dsp. I have kmod and sb
enabled. Here is my /etc/modules.conf:
alias char-major-10-135 off
alias net-pf-4 off
alias net-pf-5 off
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
alias ide/fd ide-floppy
alias ide/cd ide-cd
alias tts serial
alias tts/0 serial
alias tts/1 serial
alias cua serial
alias cua/0 serial
alias cua/1 serial
post-install sb modprobe "-k" "adlib_card"
options sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5
options adlib_card io=0x388
options parport_pc io=0x378 irq=7
- also as you can see from the above, there is a lot of messy aliasing
necessary. This should be fixed. (tts and cua should be alised to serial
by default, etc)
- a killall5 9 prints this (with various values instead of 132):
kmod: waitpid(132,NULL,0) failed, returning -512.
... and it also leaves a zombie modprobe with ppid=1 (this is weird; I
am using sysvinit 2.74)
- The lp driver needs to be fixed to use devfs.
- I use the rc.devfs script to restore device settings. Sometimes, I get
this message when running rc.devfs start:
devfs: d_iput(): saved dentry: c1aaf900 is not: c1fd44e0
devfs: probably harmless: only report if problems
- If major/minor numbers are disabled, the kernel panics about not being
able to mount 0305 (my root device) an explicit root= parameter fixes
it. What's up?
- Midnight Commander 4.1.34 doesn't work in a virtual console (it hangs
in S state, a kill from another tty fixes it).
