I'm getting errors finding files under this directory on boot up of a
freshly installed system. Any idea what could be causing this? (heck, I
don't even know what /dev/shm is...)
Thanks

I was getting errors with shm also. Make sure you're kernel has support for
it (I believe it was refrenced as tmpfs in the menuconfig), and add this
line to your fstab 'tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0'.
That cured all my shm* errors :)

tmpfs is mounted to /dev/shm automatically by the init wrapper; you shouldn't
have that line in fstab and it should continue to work. Try it and see.
