i've also noticed that most of the items in /dev are removed after a reboot. The only things that seem to stay are hda0,hda1.... and other items that are loaded on startup

i think i found the cause. It has something to do with "udev" anyone know what to do?

chrisortiz · 12-15-2005, 05:50 PM

i disabled udev and everything seems to be working ok, i wonder why it screwed everything up when it worked fine before.

PS. thanks for you posts.
