I used the 2.4.5/1.0.1 RPM to upgrade my Redhat system (built w/ XFS 1.0 CD). The kernel seems happy but upon booting reports "unable to open initial console". I've seen this before when messing with devfs. It basically means /dev/ is missing device files. I read a while back that this kernel has devfs disabled by default. Is there a trick to get the standard /dev back when upgrading from 1.0 to 1.0.1 RPM's?
