just compiled kernel 2.6.1 where idi my /dev/ go ?
 

hey guys and girls.

ive compiled kernel 2.6.1.
ive compiled a few 2.4 kernels, but this is very diffferent.

i seems to have missed whatever it is that gives me the /dev/
file system.

where abouts in the make xconfig should i look into to get it back ?

psedo filesystems - "CONFIG_DEVPTS_FS=y"

ahh, fixed it. (for any1 else with same problem)

Turns Out that when i looked into my File Systems configureation area, that
without reading the descritpion, i had selected YES to support /dev/ file system.
(which is needed in 2.4) but the description says that that is now obsolite in kernel version 2.6 and that it uses some other method to get the /dev/ directory.

so in short, to get the kernel to make a /dev/ directory, tell it not to ;)
lol. maybe that option should be removed from the config options :P

I didn't have a problem with that. I had a problem with not installing enough USB drivers. lol

lol....
USB drivers... i selected NO usb drivers since i have no use for USB...

crazy stuff.
