ok, this one is weird....

i was screwing around with the kernel adding usbstorage (module) and ide-scsi (module). modules and and usb- just like the scsi subsystem load fine. kernel log sais, that the devices (usbstorage and cdr) have been recognized and the drivers (scsi emulation with the cdr) have been loaded.
well, then it starts to become weird, from suse i'm used, that the cdr shows up as: /dev/scd1 and the usbstorage as: /dev/sda1 ... well they don't....
instead i have this in /dev:
/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/generic (and nothing else starting with "s") which points to a drive that is mounted via nfs. to me this looks more like something that should (or could) be in /proc (ok, it gets worse....in /proc i got a device (?? hmm can you call it device??) called :/proc/scsi/ide-scsi/1 which also points to the mounted nfs share (same with usbstorage))
what did i do to my poor little kernel (i know i did something.... :oops: ).
i just want a normal /dev filesystem back......

- please excuse my bad english skills, which made it somewhat hard to describe the whole matter

still, cdrecord -scanbus gives me this:
Code:
scsibus0:
        0,0,0     0) 'GENERIC ' 'SmartMedia R/W  ' '1.00' Removable Disk
        0,1,0     1) *
        0,2,0     2) *
        0,3,0     3) *
        0,4,0     4) *
        0,5,0     5) *
        0,6,0     6) *
        0,7,0     7) *
scsibus1:
        1,0,0   100) 'PLEXTOR ' 'CD-R   PX-W1210A' '1.02' Removable CD-ROM
        1,1,0   101) *
        1,2,0   102) *
        1,3,0   103) *
        1,4,0   104) *
        1,5,0   105) *
        1,6,0   106) *
        1,7,0   107) *
, so i really don't think it's a driver etc. problem.

ok, so i got the cdr issue resolved, works fine now, drives (cdr, dvd) are called sr0, sr1.
the weird nfs thing isn't happening anymore either.
but the darn usbstorage won't work. as you can see in my prior posts it's registered with the scsi bus, but nothing mountable like sda1 in /dev.
so i tried mounting something called /dev/sg[0,1,2] (i thought one of them must be the usbstorage, since there are 3 devices attached to scsi; only 2 /dev/sr devices) but mount said, that none of them is a block device.
according to the output of cdrecord -scanbus, this should be the usbstorage:
/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/generic, of course it's not mountable neither (no blockdevice).
could somebody tell me, how i can get my good ol' /dev/sda1 back :)

thanks - jannick

try "rmmod" ding your modules (usb-storage, sd_mod) and then modprobing them back in. That did it for me. I only had the generic device showing up until I did this.
