I thought so until now having restarted the box -- I |
| 28 |
did put ide-generic into the autoload file before |
| 29 |
shutdown yesterday -- tried to play a DVD with |
| 30 |
gmplayer. Couldn't find the drive again. I just |
| 31 |
assumed it had "forgotten" that in preferences->misc |
| 32 |
the path to the drive had been changed from /dev/dvd |
| 33 |
to /dev/cdrom1. Nope, that was still correct. Then I |
| 34 |
did an ls -l under /dev and this appeared: |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
<...> |
| 37 |
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 May 10 02:23 |
| 38 |
cdrom2 -> hdc |
| 39 |
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 May 10 02:23 |
| 40 |
cdrom3 -> hdd |
| 41 |
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 May 10 02:23 cdrw2 |
| 42 |
-> hdc |
| 43 |
<...> |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
Compare this to the above. Something is incrementing |
| 46 |
the drive numbers! |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
Does this have something to do with having modularized |
| 49 |
the driver? |
| 50 |

| 51 |
Guess my next stop is /usr/src/linux... |

...to be cont'd |
