Hi. Thanks for your reply. Yeah, I meant the device information directories, in /proc/ide, not the device nodes themselves. > 'fdisk -l' in that shell to search for any devices with partitions? This produces no output. :< After booting the machine back up to try fdisk, I noticed that there's now a /proc/ide/hda directory. It links from /proc/ide/ide0/. I swear it wasn't there before. Poking through it, I get this: /proc/ide/hda/driver: ide-default version 0.9.newide /proc/ide/hda/media: UNKNOWN /proc/ide/hda/model: 0=5x40,0t pcr_axmdc.1:770 :1012:.112 12 identify and settings are too verbose to transcribe unless it'd be helpful. Of course, /dev/hda still doesn't exist. Just a thought, would it be practical to get a PCI IDE controller for this machine, and just bypass the crappy builtin one? I guess the main hangup would be getting OB to boot from it. -- Jordan Bettis -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-sparc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
