Hi,

I've been spending some time reading the devfs page but still I can't find a 
way how to get devfsd to create the devices at boot time needed for bttv2.

It works with bttv using the configuration that comes with devfsd.

Is there a way to tell devfsd to do the same with bttv2 ?
I tried changing "alias /dev/v4l/ bttv" to "alias /dev/v4l bttv2" in my 
modules.conf but that didn't work. The bttv2 driver loads, but the devices 
don't get created.

I tried buidling devfsd again on my redhat7 system after I upgraded to kernel 
2.4-test11, but get the following error :

#export CC="/usr/bin/kgcc"; export cc="/usr/bin/kgcc"; make
/usr/bin/kgcc -O2 -I. -Wall    -c -o devfsd.o devfsd.c
/usr/bin/kgcc -O2 -I. -Wall    -c -o expression.o expression.c
/usr/bin/kgcc -O2 -I. -Wall    -c -o compat_name.o compat_name.c
cc -O2 -o devfsd devfsd.o expression.o compat_name.o -O2 -I. -Wall  
-export-dynamic -ldl -lnsl
cc: too many input files
make: *** [devfsd] Error 1
