it was broken in 2.2.1 it had worked before that though. 2.2.5 will be better, but the code in 3.0 (which is basically the same but with fixes) is of course best. devfs, while originally slated for 2.2.x has been moved back to 3.x I have been working on it again and have made 2 releases in the last week. I'll be away tomorrow but send me amil if you have probelms and I'll get back to you when I return. julian On Wed, 3 Dec 1997, Darren Reed wrote: > > Hmmm, I've been playing with devfs and LKM's in 2.2.1... > > First, devfs isn't dynamic (yet) ?
