I get this message ? mount_devfs_fs(): unable to mount devfs, err: -5 ? and then ? unable to open an initial console ? What's this ? What does ? err: -5 ? mean ? I tried with no devfs compiled in but i still have this error message ? unable to open an initial console ? Fortunatly, i had kept my old kernel ( 2.4.20 ) who have no devfs compiled in and it run very well for 7 months ;-) What's wrong with my system ?? Did i forget an option in the compilation ? I have looked everywhere about that problem until monday ! Thanks a lot to someone who can help me ;) Hey !
