I apologize if this has already been covered, I'm new to the list
and didn't find anything about this in the archive.
I'm running LTSP on a VIA mini-ITX motherboard and having a great time.
I'm booting using the PXE ROM in the BIOS and it's just great.
I'm playing around with adding a compact flash card plugged into an
IDE connector through an adapter and having a problem with devfsd
(I think). The CF card looks just like an IDE disk drive to the system.
I add the following lines in the lts.conf:
MODULE_01 = ide-mod
MODULE_02 = ide-disk
MODULE_03 = ide-probe-mod
This loads the IDE drivers and when booting I get console messages
indicating that the box is probing the IDE bus and finds the SanDisk
CF card.
The problem is that there is no /dev/hda device created in /dev. As
I understand devfsd it should create the device when it is
probed by the driver. Interestingly, devfsd does create the
directory structure /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/, but it doesn't
create the special block device file at the bottom of the tree.
If I manually do a mknod and create /dev/hda everything works fine,
I can create a filesystem on the CF card and everything is great.
Does anyone know what might be going on here?
