Re: Make initrd

I think devfs needed for ext3 filesystem,but i have ext2 one. Is it right?

Actually, udev have for a great deal replaced devfs, and users are encourage to use udev instead.

Re: Make initrd

Thanks,i've read.. And.. There's nothing any message with own kernel in the kubuntu 7.04 about devfs,so his version is 2.6.20.15? May be i compile new kernel with support devfs..and she's not avaliable.. I'll see about it.
