I had the same problem but upgrading from dev-3.11-1 to dev-3.12-1
The pre-install script of the rpm is looking for devfs into /proc/mounts
and it founds none /dev tmpfs rw 0 0
What I'm wondering is, why doesn't the people working on udev in the
distribution realize this is a problem? Is their configuration
non-default and they are not hitting this problem like everyone else?
