Hi, I'm not sure if I found the right group to place my request, so pls apologize for any inconvenience.
I'm busy porting 2.4.17 and .18 to a MIPS 32 board. There is a PCMCIA slot and I want to access a CompactFlash Card in a belonging "CF to PCMCIA" adapter. Hotplugging of the Card seems to work as I get belonging messages. Then I try to mount the CF Card (which is VFAT and VFAT is in my kernel) with mount -t vfat /dev/hdxx /mnt The response is then: kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k block-major-33, errno = 2 mount: /dev/hde is not a valid block device I don't have modprobe in my root filesystem and during testing I want to work just with in-kernel-compiled modules and not loadable modules. So it seems that I missed to compile the belonging modules for hda/hdb hdc/hdd hde/hdf into my kernel. I've tried already some options but didn't found out a correct setting. Is there any essential module which has to be activated? As far as I've seen there are for the above named devices the block-major 3, 22 and 33 responsible. Do they correspond to any specific kernel config setting? If I remove the "loadable-modules" option from the kernel I just get the message: mount: /dev/hdx is not a valid block device kind regards Tiemo -- ------------------------------------------------------- Tiemo Krueger Tel: +49 48 73 90 19 86 mycable GmbH Fax: +49 48 73 90 19 76 Boeker Stieg 43 D-24613 Aukrug eMail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Public Kryptographic Key is available on request ------------------------------------------------------- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-config" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
