Missing device node
Hi,
I seem to be missing a device node but I am unsure as to how I should get it
back.
I have a machine that has just two ide devices the hard drive and an old DVD
drive. There is a device node /dev/hda that corresponds to the HD but
not /dev/hdc for the DVD drive. This latter node has only disappeared since I
upgraded to kernel version 2.6.12 (two days ago). I suspect, although I have
no evidence for this, that is has something to do with udev as that is the
only "important" thing that start working AFAIK when I upgraded from 2.6.11.
The machine certainly seems to be able to find the drive at boot time as this
extract from dmesg shows
Probing IDE interface ide0...
hda: Maxtor 6Y120L0, ATA DISK drive
ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14
Probing IDE interface ide1...
hdc: CREATIVE DVD-ROM DVD6240E, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15
...
hdc: ATAPI 24X DVD-ROM drive, 512kB Cache, DMA
Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20
I am running the amd64 unstable port and have udev and hotplug installed.
Any ideas what is wrong?
Graham
