Description Eric Sandeen 2001-02-02 16:42:18 UTC
(Didn't see a devfsd option in packages, so I'll assign this to kernel
since it comes from the kernel SRPM)

The devfsd package is missing /etc/modules.devfs which is needed for module
autoloading.

Suggested patch for the 2.4 kernel spec:

--- kernel-2.4.spec.orig        Thu Feb  1 16:34:28 2001
+++ kernel-2.4.spec     Thu Feb  1 16:35:22 2001

Fixed in our source tree on Feb 1, should be in all kernels built
later than that.  Thanks.
