Does it come up, and can you go to the /dev directory, and see what
it list for the two items. I upgraded an old AMD K6 300Mhz from FC3
to FC4, and it worked fine. I find the following in the /dev directory.
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 (date) null
crw------- 1 root root 5, 1 (date) console
Are the files missing or differrent.
