I hope it is not hardware failure... I'm checking dmesg on every reboot since failure of one of my server :)
I've found that I changed configuration of my kernel - cdrom driver is loaded as module and must be loaded on boot (before hotplug/coldplug ?) for hdc to be created. Somehow parport_pc is loaded automaticly. What can I do to force hotplug/coldplug to load ide-cd and so to force udev to create hdc? I added ide-cd to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6. 2005/9/18, Bob Sanders <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > On Sat, 17 Sep 2005 20:01:41 +0200 > capsel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > So the problem is : > > > > When RC_DEVICE_TARBALL="no" there is no lp0 and sometimes hdc, it > > doesn't depend on cd/dvd disc inside my dvd, or on if my printer is > > set to "on"/"off" > > > > On a properly operating system, /dev/lp0 will be created if the printer is > on at boot - parallel port or usb, or when the printer is turned on - usb. > Parallel > port will not always create a printer if it's turned on after the system. > > Not seeing the CDrom/DVD drive every boot indicates some faulty hardware - > bad cable, > bad connector, dieing southbridge.
