|

On my X86 on the same box floppy folder is created in /dev with a node called 0 in thqat folder for accessing the floppy, my amd64 doesnt create it. I think this has something to do with udev rules, any clues anyone? _________________ Billy DeVincentis |

billydv,
The floppy kernel module is probably not loaded.
Tryand check /dev again _________________ Regards,

Thank you, in X86 version the floppy seems to get loaded by udev (or maybe I have it built into the kernel). I now have the floppy nodes being created but what I dont get is when I open up the system:/media folder, it doesnt show the floppy icon. Here is my fstab, I believe that you have to list the floppy for it to show up, could someone please tell me whats going on? Also, do the none, devpts, sysfs entries have the correct options ( and are they needed)?
/dev/hda1 /WindowsXP ntfs-3g users,locale=en_US.utf8,uid=1000,gid=100,noauto 0 0
/dev/sda1 /Vista ntfs-3g users,locale=en_US.utf8,uid=1000,gid=100,noauto 0 0
/dev/sda2 /MyDownloads vfat umask=0000,utf8,gid=100 0 0
/dev/sda3 /Gentoo32bit reiserfs defaults,notail,noatime 1 2
/dev/sdb1 /MyDocuments vfat umask=0000,utf8,gid=100 0 0
/dev/sdb2 / reiserfs defaults,notail,noatime 0 1
/dev/sdb3 none swap sw 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
/dev/floppy/0 /media/floppy auto user,exec,rw,noauto 0 0 _________________ Billy DeVincentis |
