Hi,

I have tried to create /dev/rtc and have got the error:

# mknod c /dev/rtc 10 135
mknod: invalid device type `/dev/rtc'
Try `mknod --help' for more information.

My system is/use gentoo-dev-sources, udev, nptl. What have I missed?

The order of your arguments is wrong. From 'man mknod':

mknod [options] name {bc} major minor
mknod [options] name p

You used:
mknod [options] {bc} name major minor

Sorry, forget this msg. It's my typo. Must be 'mknod /dev/rtc c 10 135'

Did you include that in your kernel?
