/dev/shm wasnt mounted, but i created the mount-point, & added the following
to /etc/fstab:
none /dev/shm shm defaults 0 0
& re-booted. (sysvipc is compiled into my kernel..)
lp still complains "no devices found"
the only other thing i havent mentioned (will it make a difference?) is that
i'm running reiserfs.
[root@ansonic /root]# mount
/dev/hda2 on / type reiserfs (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
/dev/hda1 on /boot type ext2 (rw)
/dev/hdb1 on /home type reiserfs (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
none on /dev/shm type shm (rw)
[root@ansonic /root]#
cheers :)
