PLease, please!
The problem of disappearing ide-scsi cdrom is totally diferent; see
another thread today (forgot subject and do not have it anymore). You
have to add
probeall svsi-hosts scsi_hostadapter scsi_hostapdapter1 ...
for all SCSU hostadapters to modules.conf. That will cause devfsd to
insmod SCSI modules on access to /dev/scd* and this will also create
/dev/scd* if it does not exist. See:
{pts/2}% sudo rmmod ide-scsi
{pts/2}% ll /dev/scd*
zsh: no matches found: /dev/scd*
{pts/2}% ll /dev/scd0
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 31 ??? 9 00:44 /dev/scd0 ->
scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/cd
{pts/2}% lsmod | grep ide-scsi
ide-scsi 8096 0 (autoclean)
scsi_mod 91040 4 [sr_mod ide-scsi ppa sd_mod]
{pts/2}% grep hostadapter /etc/modules.conf
alias scsi_hostadapter ppa
alias scsi_hostadapter1 ide-scsi
probeall scsi-hosts scsi_hostadapter scsi_hostadapter1
What you have done is to commet out removing of device entry when module
is unloaded. While it is possible solution it has drawbacks.
