 |
|
before you give the standard answers such as:
1) Your cdrom will be a /dev/hd?
2) some sort of kde tool is probably not working
3) etc, etc...
please note that:
1) my /dev/ directory does not contain a "cdroms" entry or anything starting with "cdrom"
2) my /dev/ directory does not contain a "hda" entry or anything starting with "hd"
these 2 things are important to have!! how do i get them back??
3) there is no mention of an IDE device in my /var/log/messages file
4) there is no mention of an IDE device im my dmesg either
5) I am not running kde or gnome but fluxbox...
what I do know:
I installed and can boot from the dvd/cdrom drive.
The dvd/cdrom drive shows up as the primary master in the bios screen.
the standard crap is in the fstab file
| Code: | | /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0 |
please help...

| I'm running that kernel on an iMac G3. My fstab line lists my drive as /dev/cdrom, mounted on /media/cdrom. Maybe its different for Macs, but maybe you need to correct fstab. |

well if /dev/cdrom existed I am sure that would work but I dont have a /dev/cdrom.
This sort of makes this problem uniq so far in my search of the forums for an answer.
I have a theory...
Since this is a new install instead of an update of udev I think it triped over the fact that my CDROM drive is on the primary master and never created a /dev/hda for it like it has for everyone else.
I tried creating a directory dev/cdroms/cdrom0 but now it tells me that it is not a block device...

| But didn't you edit fstab during the gentoo install? I had to manually edit it. What is your hard drive listed as? I've read that in 2.6 kernels, the cdrom drive will not be /dev/cdroms/cdrom0, it will be /dev/cdrom. Also, does your system use IDE/ATA? Or is it SATA or SCSI? If nothing works, you could maybe go inside the case and make the hard disk the master. Your cdrom as master seems really unusual. |

Yes I did all of the editing. all of the other mount points work but /dev/cdrom and /dev/hd? are just missing competely...

| But didn't you put in hd and cdrom listings when installing? It's strange for there to be nothing at all about a hd. Are the jumpers on the hard disk set to slave? You might try commenting /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 and putting in /dev/cdrom on /mnt/media. I don't see how it can mount the hard drive without an fstab entry, but maybe it's getting info from mtab, which I know is related, but I don't know exactly what it does. Hope it helps. |

my problem is not some eronious entry in fstab.
my problem is a missing item under /dev/
I need a folder called /dev/hda or /dev/cdrom to be created by the system while it is booting. this is not happening. why is this not happening?
here is the output from my dmesg

I think udev may be confused, as you said, by the cdrom being the primary master. But in a 2.6 kernel, you should not have the /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 line. I don't see anything in dmesg about the cdrom drive, which suggests that perhaps it can't find it. Is it possible that if the line is correct, udev will find the cdrom? If nothing works, I would try just manually putting in the /dev/hda and /dev/cdrom lines. If absolutely nothing works, I would change the cabling in the box so that the hd is primary master. Also, things might be confused if the hard drive has its jumpers set to master yet the cdrom is master. This problem is insane.

dude, thanks for your help but I think you are on the wrong track.
fstab
| Code: | # /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# noatime turns off atimes for increased performance (atimes normally aren't
# needed; notail increases performance of ReiserFS (at the expense of storage
# efficiency). It's safe to drop the noatime options if you want and to
# switch between notail / tail freely.
#
# The root filesystem should have a pass number of either 0 or 1.
# All other filesystems should have a pass number of 0 or greater than 1.
#
# See the manpage fstab(5) for more information.
#
# <fs> <mountpoint> <type> <opts> <dump/pass>
# NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts.
/dev/sda1 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 2
/dev/sda3 / ext3 noatime 0 1
/dev/sda4 /home ext2 noatime 0 1
/dev/sda2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0
#/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto 0 0
# NOTE: The next line is critical for boot!
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for
# POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink).
# (tmpfs is a dynamically expandable/shrinkable ramdisk, and will
# use almost no memory if not populated with files)
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0

| I agree that fstab is probably not the problem, and that your cd drive is just not found. Sorry I couldn't help. |

your trouble is not in the in the fstab (yet), that much i can assure you. you can't mount what you ain't got (in /dev anyway)...
from the info provided, no /dev/hdx appears as you either have a scsi or sata hd and thus appears as sda in dmesg and there is no need for a /dev/hdx.
As for the cdrom which is the important thing it would seem as though your kernel has not got support for either the pci bus or the correct block device or is your cdrom scsi too?
check your kernel config for the intel ICH6 driver which i think might be your problem. If that doesn't fix things then pls post your .config
good luck |

bionut: you hit it right on the head.
after checking my kernel config i realized that i was not thinking about ide cd-rom support during the setup so I pulled out the piix ide support hoping to save some space. After putting it back in the kernel as a module loading it worked fine.
I have since compiled it in the kernel as it was not loading automagically.
cheers and thanks all for the help.
