Guest Edwin Posted November 19, 2002 Report Share Posted November 19, 2002 Hi My MDK 8.1, kernel 2.4.8.26-mdk system stops at running DevFs deamon invald operand:0000 CPU:0 EIP: ......... EFLAGS ......... eax ......... asi ......... ds ......... Process devfs pid 123 Stack: ......... CallTrace: ..... Code: (Lots of letters and numbers) It stops there. No messages. Sorry i can't copy/paste it, i'll write it all out if you need it. I have to reset to reboot. Is this a hardware problem ?, i have no problems in SuSE or Win (SuSE and Win on hda, MDK and some vfat partitions on hdb) and i can mount MDKs partitions (in rescue) ok. I've had problems when booting with devfs twice, the first time (some weeks ago) it put it back to the old dev system, 10 to 15 boots back, it put it back to the devfs system. I tried rescue to rebuild devfs but not knowing/finding any commands (no man pages) i got nowhere, reiserfsck and e2fsck found no problems, i commented out pts from fstab but it made no difference. I tried booting with devfs=nomount but lilo would not recognize it, not in lilo i guess. I had no luck with your DB or google. Can you give me any help or pointers.

Guest anon Posted November 19, 2002 Report Share Posted November 19, 2002 Sorry, i don't know from the info you have given. Are you not able to get the latest version, mdk 9.00 ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Edwin Posted November 19, 2002 Report Share Posted November 19, 2002 What info do you need ?. I only have a 166 cpu, mdk 9.00 would be to slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest anon Posted November 19, 2002 Report Share Posted November 19, 2002 The kernel in mdk 9.00 is actually faster than mdk 8.1 Some of the apps are now more bloated than 8.1, guess it depends on what apps you install. mdk needs more ram than it does cpu speed. Having said that, the min requirments are : Processor: an x586-class or above processor is required. This includes Intel Pentium I/II/III/IV, AMD K6/II/III, AMD Duron, AMD Athlon/XP/MP. Memory: at least 64 MB is required; 128 MB is recommended. If you decide not to upgrade, maybe someone more qualified here can help you fix 8.1 Other than what steps you have already tried, i don't know what else to sugest, other than back up your stuff and re-install.

Guest Edwin Posted November 20, 2002 Report Share Posted November 20, 2002 I changed the devfs=mount to devfs=nomount in lilo.conf but it still loaded the devfsd, then out of desperation i tried reiserfsck again on / but this time i did reiserfsck --rebuild-tree and it fixed it, dmesg says 'Mounted devfs on /dev'. I'll see if devfs has an update for 8.1. Thanks anon for your help. Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
