I have caught myself before where the binaries leads the kernel version (stupid mistakes .. don't remind me why). In my case, STABLE-4.2(BETA) against my only working kernel STABLE4.1.1 But .. I digress .... Will "/dev/MAKEDEV all" have reasonable chances of working? I have it on the console now .. waiting for the ENTER keystroke :) My only doubts are because I have no idea why I am doing it, which goes against what I usually do with production machines. On a hindsight, my /dev/MAKEDEV is dated July 18 - Kernel is STABLE-4.1.1 Oct 20.
