dear gabor,

you can solve this by adding/modifying following line to your /etc/fstab

	procfs /proc procfs rw,linux 0 0

the linux option is important, it'll give you the procinfo and some other stuff; you can do it also manually using

	mount_procfs -o linux /proc /proc

it'll work then...

hth,
lubos
