RE: Maxtor IDE controller cards not working
I cannot MAKEDEV hmo. I get a "/sbin/MAKEDEV:don't know how to make device
"hmo" Would mknod help here ? I am at the fringes of my Linux knowledge,
so I am learning as I go along. On my Sunblade 100 running Debian Woody as
well as another box running Debian I get the same message. Is there a limit
to devices - perhaps in the kernel ?
On the box in question I am running a hacked version of Debian called
"Libranet" but other than some nice GUI apps, it seems that Libranet is just
Woody plus some of Sarge's most popular apps (samba, apache, etc).
