Bug#68665: Please add devices
Package: boot-floppies
Version: 2.2.16-2000-07-14
When people select one out of a couple of non-ATA-CD-ROMs they'll
run into an error, resulting in bug reports like Bug#35435.
I've investigated this a little bit more. A couple of device files
are missing in the base system.
These device files are expected to be present in /dev by modconf
which manages driver modules to be inserted in the kernel as well
as the link to /dev/cdrom
(done via "cd /dev && rm -f cdrom && ln -s aztcd0 cdrom")
aztcd0: brw-rw---- root/cdrom 29,0 2000-07-05 19:44 ./dev/aztcd0
sonycd: brw-rw---- root/cdrom 15,0 2000-07-05 19:44 ./dev/sonycd
cm206cd:
gscd:
isp16:
mcd: brw-rw---- root/cdrom 23,0 2000-07-05 19:44 ./dev/mcd
mcdx0:
brw-rw---- root/cdrom 20,0 2000-07-05 19:44 ./dev/mcdx
optcd:
sbpcd0: lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2000-07-05 19:44 ./dev/sbpcd -> sbpcd0
brw-rw---- root/cdrom 25,0 2000-07-05 19:44 ./dev/sbpcd0
sjcd:
cdu535: brw-rw---- root/cdrom 24,0 2000-07-05 19:44 ./dev/cdu535
scd0: -rw-rw---- root/cdrom 0 2000-07-05 19:44 ./dev/scd0 link to ./dev/sr0
Missing device files:
/dev/cm206cd
/dev/gscd
/dev/isp16
/dev/mcdx0
/dev/optcd
/dev/sjcd
/dev/mcd should be a link to /dev/mcd0, I guess. If this is wrong, there's
a bug in modconf, please file a proper report then.
Regards,
Joey
