From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041020 Epiphany/1.4.4 Description of problem: The block device node for my internal Zip drive is not created unless there is a Zip disk inserted when FC3 booted. The device node should be /dev/hdc. The fix from bug 134846 does not fix this problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot without a Zip disk inserted in the drive. 2. ls /dev/hdc* Actual Results: ls: /dev/hdc*: No such file or directory Expected Results: /dev/hdc Additional info: Inserting a Zip disk after boot does not create the device node either.
the kernel should provide /dev/hdc like it does for cdroms without a medium inserted...
can you show us the output of dmesg please ?
Created attachment 105888 [details] dmesg output Sorry for taking so long. Here is the dmesg output.
hdc: No disk in drive hdc: 98304kB, 96/64/32 CHS, 4096 kBps, 512 sector size, 2941 rpm The kernel obviously does know its hdc, so this looks like a userspace bug to me. DavidZ was playing with IDE ZIP drives last week, so its possible there needs to be some interaction between hal & udev.
This looks like a dupe of bug 139939 - Tony, can you confirm that this line KERNEL="hd[a-z]", BUS="ide", SYSFS{removable}="1", PROGRAM="/etc/udev/scripts/ide-media.sh %k", RESULT="floppy", SYMLINK="floppy%e in /etc/udev/rules/50-udev.rules is missing the trailing " character?
Hi, Yes the trailing " character was mission. Anyway the latest updates seem to have fixed this problem. Thanks. Tony
