SubjectRe: 2.4.1 segfault when doing "ls /dev/"

/dev is mounted at boot time by the kernel (CONFIG_DEVFS_MOUNT=y).
The system boots and runs without devfsd. You just can't start any
process calling for non-existing device under /dev and not created
by devfsd. For instance pppd or mc won't start by lack of pseudo-tty
esd needs /dev/dsp ...

i was thinking the trouble may come from some programme launched by
your boot scripts before devfsd is running.

is your version of fileutils > 4.0.28 (ls --version) ?
