Hi!

I have done some searching in lq here. And it is related to udev, I guess.

Let me describe what happend first.

Compiled kernel 2.6.9 to get hfsplus working. Successful.
I rebooted with the firewire drive plugin when I reboot the system to boot into the new kernel.
After rebooting it can detect the harddrive alright and I have /dev/sda*.

But man and less broke. Fix that by upgrading udev package from Slackware-current.

After that I still have /dev/sda*.

Things go wrong after I plug in USB pendrive.

I unmount and remove firewire drive. /dev/sda* refuse to go away.
Rebooted, and plugin firewire drive. No /dev/sda*.

Some debugging and checking which I done:
check that USB Mass storage is compiled in, Firewire support is compiled in. Check that udev support is compiled in.

And, in /dev/ there is a lot of pty** and tty** now. Much more then when in 2.6.7. Something like pre udev kernels.


Am quite desperate here. Help!

An update,
i can mount USB pendrive
but the /dev is /dev/uba

The firewire is still not working. I suspect there something wrong with the card now.

Would love to get the uba back to sda

I can only talk about USB Mass storage.

Do you have sd_mod as a module or inside your kernel? I would bet yes, but I only get a /dev/sda* when I plug in my USB mass storage thing. Do you have hotplug? What does your dmesg say?
