I have a IOMEGA ZIP drive connected on my parallel port on a freshly installed Mandrake 9.0 system. devfs is enabled. dmesg tell me:
ppa: Version 2.07 (for Linux 2.4.x) ppa: Found device at ID 6, Attempting to use EPP 32 bit ppa: Found device at ID 6, Attempting to use PS/2 ppa: Communication established with ID 6 using PS/2 scsi0 : Iomega VPI0 (ppa) interface Vendor: IOMEGA Model: ZIP 100 Rev: J.03 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 scsi1 : SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices Vendor: HL-DT-ST Model: CD-RW GCE-8400B Rev: 1.01 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 <snip> Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0 at scsi1, channel 0, id 2, lun 0 And indeed: # ll host1/bus0/target2/lun0/ total 0 brw-rw---- 1 alain root 11, 0 déc 31 1969 cd but the only path available in /dev/scsi/host0 is empty: # ll host0/bus0/target6/lun0/ total 0 devfs does not create /dev/sdaX !!! Have you heard of that bug before ? How can I force devfs to create the file and the /dev/sdaX symlink ? How do we create these device file again and what should the major minor be ? Thanks! FD
