Is that normal? livecd linux # scp 192.168.2.4:/usr/src/linux/.config . PRNG is not seeded I noticed the same thing in the install I did a few days ago. Later in that install grub failed to install and after rebooting, my /dev directory was missing just about everything. Here's the /dev directory in the chroot'ed environment I got using stage3-i686-20090114.tar.bz2: livecd linux # ls -l /dev total 12 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Jan 20 21:30 MAKEDEV -> ../sbin/MAKEDEV -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 75 Jan 20 21:49 null drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jan 13 19:29 pts drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jan 13 19:29 shm I checked the contents of stage3-i686-20090114.tar.bz2, and this is all that's there: $ tar tvf stage3-i686-20090114.tar.bz2 | fgrep ./dev drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2009-01-13 21:20 ./dev/ -rw-r--r-- root/root 0 2009-01-13 21:20 ./dev/null lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2009-01-13 19:29 ./dev/MAKEDEV -> ../sbin/MAKEDEV -rw-r--r-- root/root 0 2009-01-13 19:29 ./dev/.keep drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2009-01-13 19:29 ./dev/shm/ -rw-r--r-- root/root 0 2009-01-13 19:29 ./dev/shm/.keep drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2009-01-13 19:29 ./dev/pts/ -rw-r--r-- root/root 0 2009-01-13 19:29 ./dev/pts/.keep In contrast, stage3-i686-2008.0.tar.bz2 has a fully populated /dev/ tree: $ tar tvf stage3-i686-2008.0.tar.bz2 | fgrep ./dev | wc -l 5181 I'm a little confused. Is there supposed to be an additional installation step to populate the /dev directory when using recent stage3 snapshots? -- Grant
