My system is Sarge with one each SCSI, SATA, IDE (hda), and ATAPI (hdc) disks. I usually boot from the SCSI disk. When I boot into a 2.6.8 kernel with udev enabled the IDE disk isn't there -- not in /dev or in /sys/block -- and when the boot process tries to mount the local disks, it says it can't read an ext2 superblock on it. If I boot a 2.6.7 kernel (too early for udev), all is well. When I replace the contents of /etc/init.d/udev with "return 0", all is well. And FWIW, I can boot the IDE disk itself (DeMudi with a 2.4 kernel) with no problems. Anybody know what might be going on? It's as if /sys isn't getting a complete list of all the drives the BIOS can see. But udev can't do that. Can it? -- Glenn English ghe@slsware.com GPG ID: D0D7FF20
