I have got a problem,
I have 8 Sata drives in my system witch work great.
But when I put u usb pendrive in my system i can see it does connect in dmesg:
| Code: |
usb-storage: device found at 4

but is does not turn up in /dev/
| Code: |
maarten@localhost /dev $ ls sd*
sda sdb sdc sdd sde sdf sdg sdh
sda1 sdb1 sdc1 sdd1 sde1 sdf1 sdg1 sdh1

I use the normal Gentoo-sources on a 64Bit AMD64 X2 system.
Is there a kernel option that limmets the maximum amount of /dev/sd* devices? |

Does it show up in /sys/block/ ?
Do you have coldplug installed?

Write your own UDEV rule;
place it into /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules,
you can make udev to create a custom node for you - for instance /dev/thumbdrive
For your piece of hardware the line in 10-local.rules should be:
| Code: | | BUS="scsi", SYSFS{model}="USB DISK Pro", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="thumbdrive" |
Speaking in general, you should look whether your /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules is correct. Of course you should enable udev in /etc/conf.d/rc and install it, in case it is not present in your system. Be sure to enable CONFIG_HOTPLUG in yourkernel. It should be safe to disable RC_DEVICE_TARBALL in /etc/conf.d/rc. |
