Just recompiled the gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r7 kernel. Now, I get the above
at boot. I don't know which, if any, failed. fstab has:

none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda8 / ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 vfat users,gid=users,umask=0002,iocharse
/dev/hda7 /mnt/hda7 ext3 defaults 0 2
/dev/hda5 swap swap pri=42 0 0
/dev/hda6 /mnt/hda6 ext3 noauto,users,exec 0 2
dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,users 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0622 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0

Everything gets mounted:

[Tue Oct 21] edj:~$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda8 20G 3.0G 16G 17% /
/dev/hda1 3.0G 1.8G 1.3G 60% /mnt/hda1
/dev/hda7 5.3G 2.1G 3.1G 41% /mnt/hda7
none 126M 0 126M 0% /dev/shm
tmpfs 126M 0 126M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/fd0 1.4M 104K 1.3M 8% /mnt/floppy

hda6, unmounted, is a small boot partition. I don't think the msg refers to
that, though, as I never got the error before. Any ideas? Thanks.

just remove the line

none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0

It's the same as the last one.

Thanks. I did that, but no go. Still get the same error msg. Any other
ideas, perchance?

I'm just learning about Gentoo and making plans to switch from Slackware
to Gentoo. I hope someone will correct me if I'm wrong. It is my
understanding that Gentoo uses the devfs filesystem by default. In my
research about the devfs filesystem you cannot use both devfs and
devpts. Try removing the line about devpts and see if that solves the
error message for you. I know it did for me after I removed devpts from
my kernel configuration.

That's it!! I never got that msg before because devpts was compiled in the
old kernel. I didn't compile it in the new kernel, & thus the error.
Getting it out of fstab did the trick. Thanks a lot.
