The kernel sees them as shown by these lines in /var/log/messages |

However there are no devices files /dev/cdrom or /dev/cdroms/. |

|
| 14 |
There are also no files /proc/ide/hda or /proc/ide/hdb. |

I am trying to use udev, and installed the udev package. Packages I have |
| 17 |
installed include: |

sys-apps/coldplug-20040920-r1 |
| 21 |
sys-apps/hotplug-20040923-r2 |
| 22 |
sys-apps/hotplug-base-20040401 |
| 23 |
sys-fs/device-mapper-1.02.07 |
| 24 |
sys-fs/sysfsutils-1.3.0-r1 |
| 25 |
sys-fs/udev-087-r1 |

I haven't touched the various config files (like the udev rules). |

The kernel is 2.6.16-gentoo-r12. I've gone through many documentation |
| 31 |
web pages and think I have all the right options selected. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
I'll attach the full list of packages, and kernel config. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
USB storage devices are dectected, and auto mounted fine. |

Thanks for any help |
