Another strangeness:

Perusing the output of the boot-up, I saw this:

>> Loading modules
   :: Scanning for scsi_wait_scan...scsi_wait_scan loaded.
>> Hint: Use parameter scandelay[=seconds] if you need waiting here
>> Activating mdev
>> Determining root device...
>> Detected real_root=/dev/xvdb3
>> Mounting root...
>> Booting (initramfs)>> ERROR: your real /dev is missing files required to boot (console and null)..
INIT: version 2.88 booting

So, what's with the ERROR there? Can anyone provide an explanation?

The system boots okay, though. But I am rather uneasy when a server
has an ERROR message during its boot-up.


Rgds,
