Hello all.

I just installed a self compiled buildroot-ng image on my wgt634u router.

Trying to set up my usb memory stick on it, I get this error message :

Any ideas why devfs_mk_dir is not working? Did I forget to install something or include a kernel module in my image?

Thanks!

There's some problems with devfs patches in that kernel.

A quick and temporary workaround

mknod /dev/sda b 8 0
mknod /dev/sda1 b 8 1
mknod /dev/sda2 b 8 2

Mounting /dev/part1 instead of /dev/sda1 works. Thank you rdubya. I wonder if it is supposed to work like this.

Groz : mknod is not found on my system. What package installs it?
yyerrok : Thanks, your syntax works on my system too.

By the way, I am running kamikaze r4548 which has a 2.6.17 kernel.

This should all be fixed now

[4669] fixes devfs_mk_dir
[4673] adds /dev/sda* and automatically mounts the partitions under /tmp

It's partially fixed. It works when the disk is plugged after booting. But there ist still no /dev/sda* created when the disk is already plugged in before powerup.
