thanks to all... i finally get the cdrom work, not perfectly though, i change the BIOS setting that use S-ATA only instead and keep P-ATA enabled, which makes cdrom the primary 1st, the sata drive recognized as primary third. (i hate such layout !! i prefer the hard disk to be the primary first and recognized as hda).
at last, the sata drive was recognized as sda, so that's the whole story, now i'm wondering what on earth are the changes made with those BIOS settings, and how it affect the kernel? (because whatever i configure, the M$ Windows just works perfectly). i would not think the problem solved already, i'll take a look at this later. thanks again. daniel On Sat, Sep 03, 2005 at 02:35:51PM -0400, Greg Yasko wrote: > On Sat, 03 Sep 2005 18:19:37 +0800, danielhf wrote: > > > i upgrade my system to use udev instead of previously known > > devfs, and leave the devfs option blank while configure the > > kernel, but recently, i found i could not mount my cdrom, > > there is no such device at all! the /dev/cdrom and the like has > > gone! > > > > any ideas please, thanks a lot. > > > > --------------------------------- > > daniel > > I had the same problem several months ago when I upgraded to the 2.6 > kernel and udev. > > Just boot off the livecd, mount the / partition and delete .devfsd from > the /dev directory.
