Re: [gentoo-user] /dev/cdrom has gone!
unfortunetly, hdc does not exist either. and dmesg does not show anything about my cdrom or hdc. just odd.

The real device is hd* (in my case, 'hdc', because the CD/DVD drive is the master on the second IDE channel, as my hard drive is hda because it's master on the first channel). So maybe try looking for the actual device, instead of a symlink (which has apparently been removed), and see if that gets you any further. HTH, Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] /dev/cdrom has gone!
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! i test with my usb disk, and the /dev/ directory could add and remove the sda1 device node accordingly, it seems that everything goes well. but where is my cdrom? i have changed the /etc/conf.d/rc, and replace RC_DEVICE_TARBALL="yes" with RC_DEVICE_TARBALL="no" several days ago, because i think that'll be ok for me, and everything seems working with the exception of the cdrom i found today! the rule file under the etc/udev/rules.d/ makes no sense to me, any ideas please, thanks a lot. - daniel -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
