Running from /dev ./MAKEDEV sda seems to function as a workaround [I'll try restricting the number of devices created later :) ] FC4 is an udev-based system, so device nodes are created when a device is attached. I suppose something races and udev does not realize that a device is present when the system is booting. Please attach the /var/log/messages (but DO NOT DROP IT INTO COMMENTS BOX, and do not edit it). I think I've seen this before. We're not sending hotplug events to udev if we boot up with the device already connected iirc. Created attachment 122202 [details]
2005.12.13 /var/log/messages
/var/log/messages per request
The messages looks as if start_udev and the startup SCSI replay may not be involved. I'm adding Harald to cc:, maybe he has ideas. scsi hotplay replay is emulated by looking in /sys/devices for host* and there for "type". For these devices a hotplug event is emulated. I'm seeing this too, one on a Dell Notebook (D600, USB2 Intel Chipset) and another on an old Dell Server (Dual Processor, USB1, Serverworks chipset I think) with both a USB key and an ipod. Can give me details if req. Pete This is a mass-update to all currently open kernel bugs. A new kernel update has been released (Version: 2.6.15-1.1830_FC4) based upon a new upstream kernel release. Please retest against this new kernel, as a large number of patches go into each upstream release, possibly including changes that may address this problem. This bug has been placed in NEEDINFO_REPORTER state. Due to the large volume of inactive bugs in bugzilla, if this bug is still in this state in two weeks time, it will be closed. Should this bug still be relevant after this period, the reporter can reopen the bug at any time. Any other users on the Cc: list of this bug can request that the bug be reopened by adding a comment to the bug. If this bug is a problem preventing you from installing the release this version is filed against, please see bug 169613. Thank you. Due to a conflict with udev (upgrade required by new kernel) and syncing with an external LCD monitor I am unable to test this out effectively. <a href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=179951">udev bug</a> With the udev situation resolved, the new kernel did not produce any change for this bug. [This comment added as part of a mass-update to all open FC4 kernel bugs] FC4 has now transitioned to the Fedora legacy project, which will continue to release security related updates for the kernel. As this bug is not security related, it is unlikely to be fixed in an update for FC4, and has been migrated to FC5. Please retest with Fedora Core 5. Thank you. /dev/sd* entries are present at boot with FC5 so this bug is closed I suppose, but there are issues with mount points being assigned in FC5 . . . separate issue though. |
