disable devfs

[rich turner]

i have a situation related to lvm where i have a kernel 2.4.16 created with devfs enabled. when i boot to this kernel without devfs enabled i still get the devfs naming scheme in /proc/partitions. i need the classic naming in /proc/partitions for lvm to behave the way i want it to.

is there a way of getting a devfs-enabled kernel to boot devfs-not-enabled so that /proc/partitions to have classic naming?

really, the only tool i have to change its behavior on boot is lilo. changing the append="devfs=mount" to append="devfs=nomount" does not work.

I had the same problem. The only way seems to recompile the kernel without devfs support.

Good luck.
