Hi,
I just added devfs support in my kernel, and everything works fine, except
that I can't get a shell in X (I tried xterm, konsole, Gnome terminal, and
even emacs+ M-x shell). Unsurprisingly, I got an error message saying "No
such device" (from xterm).
Normal console login works.
Anyone knows where this may come from ? What is the device missing / how
could I add it ?
