Hmm, it sounds like udev is not making the device nodes consistently. You might want to create them manually (cd /dev ; /sbin/MAKEDEV sda sdb sdc sdd), then do a clean shutdown/restart. That will update /lib/udev-state/devices.tar.bz2. You could also turn on udev logging (/etc/udev/udev.conf), and see what turns up in the messages file. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
