-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-outdated and not support newer hardware.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.
