I've got one of my servers that doesn't have /dev/hda on it at boot |
| 2 |
time. |

I've got a lite-on DVD burner there that works just fine (once I create |
| 5 |
the device) and is noted as "hda" in the boot messages. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
However, /dev/hda doesn't exist. That's a problem. /dev/hda?* did |
| 8 |
exist, though... |
| 9 |
|

I tried turning off the DEV_TARBALL option in /etc/conf.d/rc and |
| 11 |
rebooting. Then there was no /dev/hda* at all. I have created |
| 12 |
/dev/hda* with MAKEDEV and turned the DEV_TABALL back on, but I don't |
| 13 |
know that that will make any difference, becasue I've created /dev/hda |
| 14 |
before and rebooted with the TARBALL option on and /dev/hda still wan't |
| 15 |
there. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
I also had someone say that they had to manually modprobe ide_cdrom one |
| 18 |
time, but I didn't see that happen this time (maybe someone else did |
| 19 |
it...). |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
I re-emerged udev, in case a config was corrupted, but no config files |
| 22 |
changed and /dev/hda was still not there after reboot. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
I suspect it's a udev configuration issue, but since I didn't change |
| 25 |
anything, I'm not sure how it would've broken. |

Thanks. |
