Description Tony Tsui 2004-10-22 08:45:47 UTC
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.

Comment 1 Harald Hoyer 2004-10-22 09:13:14 UTC
the kernel should provide /dev/hdc like it does for cdroms without a
medium inserted...

Comment 2 Dave Jones 2004-10-27 03:32:04 UTC
can you show us the output of dmesg please ?

Sorry for taking so long. Here is the dmesg output.

Comment 4 Dave Jones 2004-11-27 21:21:49 UTC
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.

Comment 5 David Zeuthen 2004-11-28 17:14:37 UTC
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?

Comment 6 Tony Tsui 2004-12-07 11:19:15 UTC
Hi,

Yes the trailing " character was mission. Anyway the latest updates
seem to have fixed this problem. Thanks.

Tony
