My idea what to repair the installation from another installation.
So, I mounted the defectuous installation, and I did a chroot to it.
It works except that I have an error message:
so such file or directory : /dev/urandom

Same thing when I make a yum --version
There is no files in /dev, I though that I should rebuild it

Am I wrong?

Yes, you are wrong.   If you mount a / file system there will be
nothing in /dev.  That is normal.  It gets populated during the boot
process and really doesn't exist on disk.

If you go to /dev on a working system the date/time of the entries
will be that of when the system was last booted, more or less.

OK.

I made a /dev/urandom and a /dev/null after a chroot and it seems fine.
Which command create the /dev/* at boot?
Is there anyway to repair the installation now that I run (after a chroot)?

Thank
