 Posted: Fri Mar 21, 2003 1:54 am Post subject: /dev/hda doesn't exist anymore |
 |
|
I have two hard discs and two CD drives which are setup as follow:
Maxtor 30Gb (primary master, Windows XP) --> hda
IBM 120GXP (primary slave, Gentoo Linux) --> hdb
LiteON CDRW (secondary master) --> hdc
LG DVD (secondary slave) --> hdd
Thus, the Maxtor drive should show up as /dev/hda.
But, recently, /dev/hda disappeared mysteriously from /dev... I looked at devfsd.conf and all is ok. The drive even shows up in /proc/ide.
Can somebody tell me what's wrong with this?
I use the same kernel configuration I ever used and it always worked this way.
Thanks!

Isn't the hda drive faulty?

Yes the drive is healthy. I can boot Windows XP without problems.

Does that help a little?

Did your /dev/hda drive show up as /dev/hde ?
Look at the section where the IDE devices are being detected. |

There should be an entry for

but there isn't.

Hmmm, that's strange.
Are you passing any boot options ? (like hda=ide-scsi)
If you change jumpers and make IBM=hda and Maxtor=hdb, does the same problem occur ?
Bloody Bastard may be right - you could have a bad drive. |

What happens if you boot with a LiveCD?

HAA!!!!

I switched kernel once and I didn't put the right device for ide-scsi.... It should be hdc but i put hda=ide-scsi... stupid me...
Nevermind this problem!!!!! And thanks for your help as maybe I wouldn't have fixed it!
