Another thing that bit me was some leftover lines in /etc/lilo.conf from 2.4.x kernels like ``append = "hdc=ide-scsi ignore=hdc.."''. This was causing udev to not generate /dev/hdc*, let alone the symlinks. -- Dave Thayer | WARNING: Persons denying the existence of Denver, Colorado USA | robots may be robots themselves.

Do you get something like: $ ls /sys/bus/ide/devices/ 0.0 1.0 1.1 The first appears to be my hard disk. The two others (1.X) my optical drives (a cd writer and a dvd writer). I'm using them with the "new" ide-cd driver (and not with the old ide-scsi emulation). > Any way I can use that links.conf file you mentioned to get > udev to create links to my cdrom?

The relevant cdrom line from /etc/udev/cdsymlinks.sh is in the default /etc/udev/rules.d/udev.rules file so I don't think that's my problem but I'll try anyways Nope that didn't seem to work... my cdrom devices are still not getting created.

It used to /dev/hdc but those devices aren't listed in /dev anymore ... which is probably why udev isn't creating the links... it isn't creating the devices. FYI I do have a /dev/hdc in my fstab which I used for mounting the cdrom I looked through /proc and /sys and I believe that all my devices are listed in one way or another I don't _really_ know what is going on in those directories... Any way I can use that links.conf file you mentioned to get udev to create links to my cdrom? -- Kyle Girard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

What was the real device name of your cdrom (not the link) before you installed udev? /dev/hdc or /dev/hdd might be the device you need to put in /etc/fstab. Another solution would be to have udev create the link /dev/cdrom. Do this by editing /etc/udev/links.conf. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
