Have you updated your system? The handbook recommends that you do a MAKEDEV all each time you upgrade. This is because, although the devices are already there, the OS may have changed something about them, and recreating them brings them up to date. That could be your problem. It's just as important as running mergemaster. -Bill "Philip J. Koenig" wrote: > I had the same problem recently, same error message. > > So today I went into /dev and did "sh MAKEDEV all".
