remake /dev
Did you delete it by accident, or is something in particular missing? I do not know if there is a general procedure to reconstruct the whole directory unfortunately.Best,

I still have a MAKEDEV, but I do know how to set the device. /sbin/MAKEDEV [ -d directory ] [ -D directory ] [ -c configdir ] [ -m maxdevices ] [-a] [-n] [-v] [-i] [-M] [-S] [-u] [-x] device .. devices [b|c] mode owner group major minor inc count fmt [base] count devices will be created, with permissions set to mode and owned by owner and group. The first device will be named fmt, and additional devices will be created if count is larger than 1. If fmt contains a C-style formatting string, it will be filled with the sum of base and zero. Subsequent devices will be filled with the sum of base and n * inc, where n is the order this device is being created in. If the format string did not already include a format specifier, a "%d" will automatically be appended to it to make this work. I think, *"man udev"* could be helpful for you.

Did you try "MAKEDEV -a" ? But I think, some entries will get lost after the next reboot.

remake /dev
My idea what to repair the installation from another installation.
So, I mounted the defectuous installation, and I did a chroot to it. It works except that I have an error message: so such file or directory : /dev/urandom Same thing when I make a yum --version There is no files in /dev, I though that I should rebuild it Am I wrong?

Yes, you are wrong. If you mount a / file system there will be nothing in /dev. That is normal. It gets populated during the boot process and really doesn't exist on disk. If you go to /dev on a working system the date/time of the entries will be that of when the system was last booted, more or less. -- Never be afraid to laugh at yourself, after all, you could be missing out on the joke of the century. -- Dame Edna Everage -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
