Rock Linux is based on LFS and uses devfs. You may want to look through our patches that we applied for these
packages. See www.rocklinux.org/sources/ and browse through pkg-config for specific patches.

Has anyone successfully configured a system to use devfs under LFS. I'm
running:

Linux 2.4.1,
Glibc 2.1.3,
GCC 2.95.2,
Modutils 2.4.2,
Shadow 20000902,
and Net-Kit 0.17.

depmod, modinfo and insmod give me segmentation fault when I am running
with devfs (and devfsd).

telnetd gives getpeername: Socket operation on non-socket.


Doesn't sound like a devfs related problem.

I've read the FAQ, configured the system accordingly, and can boot into
single user mode but I cannot bring up most daemons and it seems that a
great many of the /dev entries that this kernel and software require are
not created by devfsd.


Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. Make sure you've configured devfsd to create compatibility entries. If there are still missing entries, then provide me a list of the name the kernel *does* give (if there is one) and what the missing name is.

The problem may be an omission in devfsd, or it might be a driver that
doesn't create entries in devfs.
