Hi there,
my problem parameters:
kernel-2.6.19.2.
I have none to fit my cd/dvd drive in /dev.
I have only:
Quote:
ls /dev/h*
hda hda1 hda2 hda3 hda5 hda6 hda7 hda8 hpet


The hda1-8 are valid partitions of the hda.
ls /dev/c* gives no clear result. (only like cpu/ and console.)

Strange, for cat /var/log/messages | grep -i cd tells me:
Quote:
Mar 28 07:19:18 argos hdc: ASUS DRW-1604P, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive

That is normal, for my CD/DVD is normally recognised as hdc.

Now, in kernel .config I have

Quote:
BLK_DEV_IDECD=y
BLK_DEV_IDESCSI=m
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_AMD74xx=y (I have nforce3 based board)
CONFIG_IDE_GENERIC=y


I think these concern.
I have custom kernel.

Hi,

Did you try to see the output produced by the dmesg command ?
After that I think IMHO you should look at your /etc/fstab file.

I'm not sure what is your actual profile BTW let's suppose that you're using udev :D
There is an excelent tutorial on udev that can help you too http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Customizing_UDEV

Hope it helps
Marcos

Right, udev v.87.
dmesg tells nothing.
When a cd is inserted, the device starts to make noise, but still no nod in /dev.
Fstab has nothing to do till there is nothing to mount.

I have recompiled the kernel, and though the changes have nothing to do with the IDE and so, now I have nod.
