[UPDATE] No /dev/cdrom in Debian testing?!

In the morning I revisited the missing /dev/cdrom problem in my Debian testing installation. 1. I found the /.dev directory, and it had /.dev/hdc 2. I decided to try to link /dev/cdrom to /.dev/hdc, and it worked. I successfully mounted a CD-ROM (the actual task was to view a PPS presentation

Hello Haggai, My laptop is now turned off and I'm going to sleep in a moment, so I'm asking a theoretical question without actually trying your advice. Suppose I find the mysterious CD-ROM file somewhere3 in /sys/bus/ide. Should /dev/cdrom link to it? And is there any script which is supposed

Hello Ido, There is a /dev/MAKEDEV which re-creates all device files. I invoked it and it re-created (or at least touched) all device files. But...it did not create /dev/hdc*. My problem is not with /dev/cdrom but with /dev/hdc. If there were /dev/hdc, then /dev/cdrom would have been OK (I'd crea

No /dev/cdrom in Debian testing?!

2004-09-19 Thread Omer Zak
I have found, the hard way, that there are neither /dev/hdc* nor /dev/cdrom in my ThinkPad R40e laptop Debian/testing/non-US/main installation. The kernel is 2.6.8 unchanged from the Debian testing package which installed it. I did find that there is something called udev, which was supposed t
