Exactly the same problem that I had when switching to 2.6.0 (some early test version). > Anyone with an idea where the error might be? Can you please verify that you have a file /etc/modprobe.d/{some file that sounds like devfs, '1devfs' at my system} which should look sth like: ------- snip --------- alias /dev/discs/* /dev/discs alias /dev/cdroms/* /dev/cdroms alias /dev/cdrom /dev/cdroms [...] install /dev/cdroms /sbin/modprobe ide-scsi; /sbin/modprobe sr_mod; /sbin/modprobe ide-probe-mod; /sbin/modprobe ide-cd; /sbin/modprobe cdrom; /bin/true [...] ------- snip --------- I suppose there isn't one at your system. I did not have this file when the problem occurred to me, but I copied it from a position I unfortunately forgot to /etc/modprobe.d/1devfs, called update-modules and everything worked then. If the file _is_ present at your system, then it is probably just misconfigured. Please attach it for analysis then.
