[gentoo-user] /dev/hda not created
I've got one of my servers that doesn't have /dev/hda on it at boot time. I've got a lite-on DVD burner there that works just fine (once I create the device) and is noted as hda in the boot messages. However, /dev/hda doesn't exist. That's a problem. /dev/hda?* did exist, though... I tried turning off the DEV_TARBALL option in /etc/conf.d/rc and rebooting. Then there was no /dev/hda* at all. I have created /dev/hda* with MAKEDEV and turned the DEV_TABALL back on, but I don't know that that will make any difference, becasue I've created /dev/hda before and rebooted with the TARBALL option on and /dev/hda still wan't there. I also had someone say that they had to manually modprobe ide_cdrom one time, but I didn't see that happen this time (maybe someone else did it...). I re-emerged udev, in case a config was corrupted, but no config files changed and /dev/hda was still not there after reboot. I suspect it's a udev configuration issue, but since I didn't change anything, I'm not sure how it would've broken. Thanks. -- -M There are 10 kinds of people in this world: Those who can count in binary and those who cannot. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Is this a new install on this system? ie. liveCD Is this an upgrade of the kernel? or was this just the addition of the DVD-R? -- Lares Moreau [EMAIL PROTECTED] | LRU: 400755 http://counter.li.org lares/irc.freenode.net | Gentoo x86 Arch Tester | ::0 Alberta, Canada Public Key: 0D46BB6E @ subkeys.pgp.net | Encrypted Mail Preferred Key fingerprint = 0CA3 E40D F897 7709 3628 C5D4 7D94 483E 0D46 BB6E signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

In my case it was solved by adding the ide-cd module to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 (try first with modprobe ide-cd and ls -l /dev/hda) Good luck Gerhard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I just noticed the problem, so I'm not sure when it started (I don't use the drive on it much). It turns out that we only need to load the ide_cd module at boot time and the dev will show up. It will show up whenever we load the module, but it was causing confusion by not being there after a reboot. Someday I need to read up on udev, hal, hot- and cold-plug and how they all interact with the system nowadays... Thanks for your reply.
