Hi !

I'm still a bit confused , maybe because I'm not familiar
with devfs.

I load the kernel-modules

modprobe ide-disk
modprobe ide-probe-mod
modprobe ide-mod


then hdparm, mkswap, swapon still fails because

/dev/hda  /dev/hda1  /dev/hda2

don#t exist.
so I made a classic

mknod /dev/hda b 3 0

then, when I use  /dev/hda  e.g. with

hdparm -S 180 /dev/hda

I see a message 
        "Partition check:
          /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0: p1 p2

and 2 links were created:
 
/dev/hda1 -> /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1
/dev/hda2 -> /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part2

why now ? why not earlier ?

mkswap /dev/hda1

works now, but

swapon /dev/hda1

still gives me an error:
Don't know how to swap to this kind of file
swapon: /dev/hda1: Invalid argument

Are IDE swap-partitions disabled in the Kernel ?

greetings & thanks,
Martin Herweg
