Master Table Overflow 1

[itfellow]

On OpenServer 5.0.5, I tried to install the streams driver using the "mkdev streams" command and the kernel rebuild failed with the error: "Master Table Overflow".

I haven't had any luck finding any info on this so far. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

OK, ironically, after waiting and researching for a week or so before posting this question, I found a vital clue within a half-hour of posting it. Apparently, my mdevice file is WAY overloaded (beyond 256 devices). I inherited this server recently, so I don't know what half of the stuff in there is. So, the question now is, how do I go about removing unnecessary devices?

devices mean device drivers (for OS). so first check the devices listed in hwconfig and then remove them by mkdev or marking Y as in /etc/conf/cf.d/Devices directory and rebuild the kernel

sorry for mistake. the direcotr is /etc/conf/sdevice.d. It will have all the files and 2nd fld (i think) has Y or N. If Y then in kernel else not.
