CD/DVD folders disappearing when rebooting
I'm running Debian Sid. When I booted into Debian, I will sometimes get the following message: discover reports that /dev/hdc is a CD/DVD device, but it and /dev/hdc do not exist. Not updating /dev/cdrom0. discover reports that /dev/hdd is a CD/DVD device, but it and /dev/hdd do not exist. Not updating /dev/cdrom0. No CD/DVD drives found. The drives work just fine, but I have to manually create the cdrom0 and cdrom1 folders in /media. Here's where it gets a little weird. If I boot to a different kernel than the one I had been using when all the above was going on, then I do *not* get those boot messages, and I do not have to manually creat the folders. But if I reboot *again*, the process starts all over. Currently running kernel 2.6.8 built from latest kernel-source package, but this happens when booting into 2.6.7 or 2.6.9 as well. Running discover1 1.7.3. Would it be to my advantage to switch to discover? signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

For the 2.6.x kernels: Are you running udevd? and is hal installed? If not that would be your first order of business. WARNING: udevd does require some hand holding, so be prepared to give it that. But once you work out the stuff... it'll be just fine! -- greg, [EMAIL PROTECTED] The technology that is Stronger, better, faster: Linux signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Should it be? Yes, make sure hal, udev, hotplug, discover are all installed. There is a question about whether or not you want to have the kernel manage the links or not (you should answer yes to it), I cannot remember which package asks it. Also, make sure that the ide-cd module is being loaded. Sometimes discover and/or hotplug don't quite get it done and udev never makes the /dev/hd* files nor do the links get managed properly. -- greg, [EMAIL PROTECTED] The technology that is Stronger, better, faster: Linux signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

I installed hal. Looks like that fixed the issue. Thanks a bunch. :) signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
