Hello, I have been away on holiday and my mail box was filled by the 15th !! So I appologies if this has already appeared on this list.
It appears that some DevFsd devices are not assigned until accessed manually. Assuming that makes no sense at all :-) here's what I mean At boot the message "Mounting local file systems.... /dev/hdc no such device appears". The CD-ROM remains unmountable until /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd is accessed in some way (ls is enough) but 'cd' has to be added by hand since after a boot all that actually exists is /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0. Another example. I have to run Xine with the sound "driver" assigned to "null" (xine -A null). Once it is up and running the "device" setting in the "Audio" tab can be set as "oss" (or whatever). Then exit Xine and re-run without the -A option and all works well. Hope this isn't too out of date, Owen
