Ubuntu-6.10: Unknown file system 'devfs'

Man-wai CHANG mwchang

> Yes, something is clearly perverted, ancient, screwed up if you need
> devfs for anything; Ubuntu doesn't use it. I would add, unless you
> have very strange hardware, I see no need to build a kernel on Ubuntu
> (or RH for that matter). The kernel they supply is quite adequate for
> 99% of users.

I did google the error message. Most answers said devfs is replaced by
udev. While 2.6.17 is good enough for my old P3, I have strong curiosity
for new things. :)
