1 Guy:
2
3 Kernel 2.6.15.1-pa4
4 udev version 103
5
6 I am using this kernel since more than a year ago so I do not think there
7 is a problem with its config. I am not 100% sure but I believe udev had
8 been updated a couple of days before and the problem occured after that.
9
10 There is nothing suspicious on the logs, only what I wrote in my previous
11 email.
12
13 I also noticed that it only can see the root partition (in read-only
14 mode of course), but /boot (/dev/sda4) and /mnt/disk2 (/dev/sdb1) both
15 shows as if they were empty (ls shows nothing inside them)
16
17 Thanks,
18 Mauro
