Here's the relevant output of fdisk -l with the zip disk having been in the drive on boot-up.
Code:
Disk /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target1/lun0/disc: 100 MB, 100663296 bytes
64 heads, 32 sectors/track, 96 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 2048 * 512 = 1048576 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/ide/host0/bus1/target1/lun0/part4 * 1 96 98288 b W95 FAT32
I'm running Gentoo (which uses devfs) which makes things a little different. Is this what's causing the problems?
/dev/hdd is symlinked to ide/host0/bus1/target1/lun0/disc and when hdd4 is around it's symlinked to ide/host0/bus1/target1/lun0/part4.
It works fine if the disk is in during boot-up... Here's the log on boot-up when the disk is in:
Code:
hdd: attached ide-floppy driver.
hdd: 98304kB, 196608 blocks, 512 sector size
hdd: 98304kB, 32/64/96 CHS, 4096 kBps, 512 sector size, 2941 rpm
hdc: attached ide-scsi driver.
Partition check:
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0: p1 p2 < p5 p6 p7 >
/dev/ide/host0/bus1/target1/lun0: p4
Here's the same portion of dmesg during boot-up without the disk in:
Code:
hdd: attached ide-floppy driver.
hdd: No disk in drive
hdd: 98304kB, 32/64/96 CHS, 4096 kBps, 512 sector size, 2941 rpm
hdc: attached ide-scsi driver.
Partition check:
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0: p1 p2 < p5 p6 p7 >
(That last partition check is just my main hard drive, the Zip disk's one is obviously missing).
