Subject: [gentoo-user] Trouble mounting external drive

1 I have an iRiver mp3 player that can be mounted as a USB mass storage
2 device. Up until recently it connected perfectly when I plugged it in
3 and I even had a udev rule to symlink it to /dev/iriver for me.
4
5 Now, after some update, the device nodes are no longer getting created
6 in /dev when I plug it in. I tried updating the kernel to 2.6.20 hopeing
7 for a fix, but it still doesn't work. I am using udev-104-r12.

9 Here is the output from dmesg after connecting:

33 What I have in /dev (only shows my SATA drive partitions):
34
35 ls /dev/sd*
36 /dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sda3 /dev/sda4 /dev/sda5 /dev/sda6
37

39 It does show up in /sys/block/sdd/sdd1 though and I can query it there
40 with udevinfo, but my udev rule does not get triggered. Here is the
41 rule:
42 SUBSYSTEMS=="usb" ATTRS{product}=="iRiver iHP-100 Series" NAME="iriver"
43
44 The relevent part from udevinfo:
45 looking at parent device '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:0b.1/usb1/1-6':
46 KERNELS=="1-6"
47 SUBSYSTEMS=="usb"
48 DRIVERS=="usb"
49 ATTRS{serial}=="0123456789AB"
50 ATTRS{product}=="iRiver iHP-100 Series"
51 ATTRS{manufacturer}=="iRiver "
