Description Jon Nelson 2006-02-12 04:45:00 UTC 
I booted the 10.1 beta 3 cd in 'rescue' mode. While booting, I saw this (apologies for spelling errors):

Initializing /devcp: will not create hard link '/dev/shm' to directory '/dev/pts'
chmod: cannot access '/dev/shm': No such file or directory

/bin/mknod: '/dev/shj/root': No such file or directory

...

Just FYI.

When is is message getting outputted? You can photograph the boot-screen and attach the picture here if it helps you.
Comment 2 Michael Gross 2006-02-17 11:44:37 UTC 
Please reopen this bug if you can provide more information.

As requested, screenshot.

Apologies that it took so long!
Comment 5 Michael Gross 2006-02-20 15:01:35 UTC 
OK that looks like a problem with the boot scripts.
Does this happen on other machines, too or did you test this only on one machine?
Comment 6 Jon Nelson 2006-02-20 15:09:39 UTC 
Just the one machine.
Comment 7 Jon Nelson 2006-02-20 15:10:29 UTC 
I need to clarify that. Hit commit too quickly.
I have only tested this on the one machine.
I can test on others but not for 11 hours or so.
Comment 8 Michael Gross 2006-02-20 15:16:12 UTC 
Would be helpful, on my test-machine I receive no such messages.
You could give more information about the used machine (hwinfo).
Comment 9 Jon Nelson 2006-02-21 02:25:56 UTC 
I just tried the 10.1 beta4 CD1 rescue mode and it worked fine (on the same machine).

I think this bug can probably be closed.

Thanks!

I suppose this was already fixed then. You can try it with future versions, if it reappears, reopen this report (I also tested it with B4).
Comment 11 Michael Gross 2006-03-03 17:08:56 UTC 
Jon: Which hardware do you use? Is this a x86-64 machine?
Comment 12 Jon Nelson 2006-03-03 19:50:50 UTC 
The hardware in this is a Dell laptop, I think it's a Mobile Celeron, 1.6 GHz. I don't recall the exact model.
