Create the device files by running the following commands:
|
||
|
|
</para>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<blockquote><literallayout>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<userinput>cd /dev &&</userinput>
|
||
|
|
<userinput>./MAKEDEV -v generic</userinput>
|

|
|

</literallayout></blockquote>

<para>
|

|
The <quote>generic</quote> parameter passed to the MAKEDEV script
|
||
|
|
doesn't create all the devices you might need, such as audio devices,
|
||
|
|
hdc, hdd and ohters. If you seem to be missing something tell MAKEDEV to
|
||
|
|
create it. To create hdc replace generic with hdc. You can also add hdc
|
||
|
|
to generic, so you would execute <userinput>./MAKEDEV -v generic
|
||
|
|
hdc</userinput> to create the generic set of devices files, plus the
|
||
|
|
files you need to be able to access hdc (and hdc1, hdc2, etc)
|
||

Please note that this script dates back from 1997 and therefore can be
|
||
|
|
outdated and not support newer hardware. If you need device files which
|
||
|
|
aren't known by this script please read the Documentation/devices.txt
|
||
|
|
file in a Linux source tree. This file lists all the major and minor
|
||
|
|
numbers for all the device files that the kernel knows about. With this
|
||
|
|
list you can create such device files yourself. See the mknod man page
|
||
|
|
for more information on how to make device files yourself.
