devfs or fam4 what's the difference?

Does anyone know what the difference is between the builds in
ftp://lorien.handhelds.org/pub/linux/feeds/demo/ that have devfs or fam4?
Other than spelling :-).

If somebody could send me a devfs arm module and indicate the /lib/module
path it resided in that would be so helpfull. Or better yet what ipk
contains the devfs module?

Reason....

During the install of Intimate an error came up, around the time of mounting
/dev/hda1, that devfs module not present. It continued to run so I let it.
After the installation I rebooted. Upon reboot the iPAQ locked up and there
was a message of devfs not present. Does any of this have anything to do
with the different builds (devfs/fam4)?

To get out of this jam I changed the boot param linuxargs back to pre
Intimate install. This worked. I had the bright idea of downloading the
kernel-modules*devfs*.ipk and installing that. Then restarted the Intimate
install. Initmate copied familiar modules to my hda1 drive. I was thinking I
was pretty smart. DO NOT DO THIS it is not so smart.

Any words of wisdom are welcome.
Thanks in advance for your time and input,
Rich
