I've been thinking that MKNOD is what I should be doing, rather than MAKEDEV. MODPROBE doesn't give me an SDA1, but I do have an SDA. I'm curious: how do you determine those major and minor numbers? Is this something to be found in the UsbView output? Or is this limited to IDE and not USB? Also, am I fighting a losing battle - will Linux work with just card readers that do not have more than one 'slot'? That is, is a card reader that can accomodate both CF and SM doomed to failure?
