lilo error message

[robak]

Hi !!

i tried to load lilo into my MBR and get the following message:

Warning: '/proc/partitions' does not match '/dev' directory structure.
Name change:'/dev/ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/disc'->'/dev/hde

The kernel was compiled with DEVFS_FS, but 'devfs=mount' was
omitted as a kernel command-line boot parameter; hence,
the '/dev' directory structure does not reflect DEVFS_FS
device names.



lilo was then correctly written into the MBR and linux does boot. but what does this message mean?

thx 4 posting in advance

Can you post your /etc/lilo.conf file here using the "code" buttons located on this page?

It probably means that /proc/partitions uses the devfs device names. I don't know for sure, but I'd guess so.

in your lilo.conf file, there will be an append="" line for each entry

add devfs=mount inside the "" for each entry
