AFAIK, 2.6 no longer uses devfs. It is now replaced by udev. However, it's not a simple drop-in replacement.

Try to consult to Debian mailing list/forum too. regards, Mulyadi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
