Hi anmol, I dont have anything like MAKEDEV in /dev , or anywhere else on
my system :(. There are no man page entries either.

Besides, the problem is more complicated than that. I'm running SuSE
linux, kernel 2.2.14 . When i boot with the default kernel, everything
works fine, but when i use a compiled kernel (same version), then mounting
devices like the cdrom or the floppy give me errors. Here's the
illustration --

srijan:~ # mount /cdrom 
mount: /dev/hdc has wrong major or minor number
srijan:~ # 
srijan:~ # mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /floppy 
mount: /dev/fd0 has wrong major or minor number 
srijan:~ #       

Please help.
