emulators/linux_base is outdated. The current default is linux_base-8
(still not very decent, but better than 7.x). The correct way to fix
the old port is to remove it. Unfortunately Trevor isn't very
responsive since he clashed with me and portmgr (normaly I would list
myself last, but in this case it's more appropriate to list me
first)... at least he doesn't response to me.
I'm wondering why you get problems. Don't create a dev directory at all
and the kernel should fall back to the native one.
Bye,
Alexander.
