Painlessly removing devfs
I'm running sid on an Intel box. I have been running devfs for about 5 years.
My motherboard is a KT133 with a Southbridge PCI controller and a Promise
PDC20265 controller. I have the following drive config:
Southbridge controller:
hda: Maxtor 6Y120L0, ATA DISK drive
hdb: Maxtor 6Y160P0, ATA DISK drive
hdc: WDC WD1200JB-75CRA0, ATA DISK drive
hdd: SAMSUNG DVD-ROM SD-616T, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
PDC20265:
hde: LG CD-RW CED-8120B, ATAPI CDROM drive
I installed 2.6.9 today and when I rebooted, the CDROM on hde was detected,
but not configured:
PDC20265: IDE controller at PCI slot 0000:00:11.0
PCI: Found IRQ 10 for device 0000:00:11.0
PCI: Sharing IRQ 10 with 0000:00:0b.0
PCI: Sharing IRQ 10 with 0000:00:0c.1
PDC20265: chipset revision 2
PDC20265: 100% native mode on irq 10
PDC20265: (U)DMA Burst Bit ENABLED Primary PCI Mode Secondary PCI Mode.
ide2: BM-DMA at 0x8000-0x8007, BIOS settings: hde:pio, hdf:pio
ide3: BM-DMA at 0x8008-0x800f, BIOS settings: hdg:pio, hdh:pio
Probing IDE interface ide2...
hde: LG CD-RW CED-8120B, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
ide2 at 0x9400-0x9407,0x9002 on irq 10
I've had other problems that I have tracked down to devfs (e.g. with my nvidia
card, when I first switched), and I have no real reason to use it...Is there
a way to cleanly break with devfs? If not, is there a way to get devfs to
pick up the second PCI controller?
Thanks,
