Re: [vox-tech] No node for CDROM
I added ide_cd to /etc/modules and re-booted. That seems to have fixed it.

[vox-tech] No node for CDROM
I installed debian etch a couple of months ago and had no occasion to use the CDROM drive until recently. I was trying to play a CD and kept getting an error. I found there is no node in /dev for it. I did find a node in /dev/.static/dev but of course no app will look there. This seems to be related to udev some how. I found a lof file in /var/log/installer called hardware-summary. according to that there was a CD drive recognized and the driver modules installed. Now the driver modules are not installed. (I had to re-boot because of a power outage) As I understand it, udevd is supposed to get an event from the kernel and craeate the node dynamically but how can it get an event when there are no drivers? Is there some program to run to get this to work? Richard Harke ___ vox-tech mailing list vox-tech@lists.lugod.org http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
