After reboot (with virgin devfsd.conf, no disc in drive): $grep ide-floppy /var/log/dmesg ide-floppy driver 0.98a /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0:<3>ide-floppy: hdc: I/O error, pc = 28, key = 2, asc = 3a, ascq = 0 ide-floppy driver 0.98a $ls -l /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0 total 0 brw------- 1 root root 22, 0 Jan 1 1970 disc $ $mount -t vfat /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/part4 /mnt/disk mount: special device /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/part4 does not exist Nothing changed after inserting of a disc. No log output (messages,dmesg,kernel/*). part4 creation triggered by fdisk -l or touching disc. Ralf.
