While I was trying to burn a CD tonight I relised that that I did not have the files /dev/hdb, /dev/hdc and /dev/hdd.

I am not sure why this happened. Recently I compiled a new kernel but that shouldn't do anything, I think. Also looking at the dmseg (or is it dmesg) output I can see it say hdb zip100.0 ... hdc cdrw ... hdd creative52x ...

I am not sure where the problem is and help would be apprceated.

I am using the gnetoo 2.4.20 r5 sources.

Thanks,
arand

I get the same. I was hoping it might be something simple. I'm like you and am not that comfortable with devfs yet.

About your kernel though, do you get something similar to this?

Thanks for your help red_over_blue. I am taking my computer apart for the summer and I will be working on it again in the Fall.

Thanks again for your time,
