?? this is weird: I'm sure I used "reply to all", I checked the copy in my sent-mail folder, your address were in the "to:" field.

When booting 2.6.18-rc7-mm1, the initscripts complain about /dev/tty0 not
being present. Then the boot sequence blocks...:

Sep 21 23:23:57 werewolf init: open(/dev/console): No such file or
directory
Sep 21 23:24:07 werewolf last message repeated 17 times
Sep 21 23:24:12 werewolf init: Id "3" respawning too fast: disabled for 5
minutes

(from syslog)

The same userspace boots fine with -rc6-mm2.

Any ideas ?
Well, I have similar issues: when booting 2.6.18-rc7-mm1, some /dev
files are missing:
- /dev/kmem
- /dev/kmsg
- /dev/mem
- /dev/port
- /dev/ptmx
- /dev/tty

Setting CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED=y didn't help. My .config is attached.

    There were some problems with older versions of udev not creating
some device nodes with -mm kernels.  I don't know if this has been
fixed, or if it's the same as this:

"- The kernel doesn't work properly on RH FC3 or pretty much anything
  which uses old udev, due to improvements in the driver tree."

    I know that, several -mm's back, Ubuntu Dapper's udev 079 didn't
create /dev/alsa or /dev/psaux.


Not mya case, at least:

werewolf:~> rpm -q udev
udev-098-6mdv2007.0


Well, it may be a Mandriva issue.

udev version was udev-098-3mdv2007.0 here, I upgraded to udev-098-6mdv2007.0: no more luck.

I noticed the following difference between 2.6.18-rc6-mm2 and 2.6.18-rc7-mm1:

with 2.6.18-rc6-mm2:
# ls -ld /sys/class/mem/kmem
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 sep 22 10:47 /sys/class/mem/kmem/
# ls -l /sys/class/mem/kmem
total 0
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 sep 22 10:28 dev
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    0 sep 22 10:47 subsystem -> ../../../class/mem/
--w------- 1 root root    0 sep 22 10:41 uevent

and with 2.6.18-rc7-mm1:
# ls -l /sys/class/mem/kmem
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Sep 22  2006 /sys/class/mem/kmem -> ../../devices/virtual/mem/kmem

# ls -al /sys/devices/virtual/mem/kmem:
total 0
drwxr-xr-x  3 root root    0 Sep 22  2006 .
drwxr-xr-x 11 root root    0 Sep 22  2006 ..
-r--r--r--  1 root root 4096 Sep 22  2006 dev
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root    0 Sep 22  2006 power
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root    0 Sep 22  2006 subsystem -> ../../../../class/mem
--w-------  1 root root 4096 Sep 22 09:25 uevent

There is an udev rule for kmem:
# grep kmem /etc/udev/rules.d/*
/etc/udev/rules.d/50-mdk.rules:KERNEL=="kmem", NAME="%k", MODE="0640"

This rule seems to be not triggered in rc7-mm1.
