I can no longer mount /dev/hda7. This problem surfaced when I switched from
gentoo-dev 2.6.7 to 2.6.8
This is the error message.
mount: special device /dev/hda7 does not exist
This is the output from fdisk /dev/hda.
Disk /dev/hda: 122.9 GB, 122942324736 bytes

/dev/hda7 3380 14946 92911896 83 Linux
I can see that there is no hda7 in /dev, so I would guess it is something
simple having to do with devfs or udev. I don't understand either very well,
and I especially don't understand why switching to 2.6.8 would cause this.
I don't know if this would have anything to do with it or not, but I get
this error message on boot up.
rm: cannot remove '/dev/.devfsd': Read-only file system
Any help would be appreciated.
TIA.
