I am having a similar problem with ZIP disks not inserted on zip drive
at boot time. The problem is /dev/hdc and /dev/hdc4 aren't available
even after I insert a disk on drive.
.
I have uncommented the following lines on /etc/devfs.conf and got an
error when devfsd starts.
IDE NEWCOMPAT /dev/ide/hd/* names
LOOKUP ^(ide/hd/c[0-9]+b[0-9]+t[0-9]+u[0-9]+)p[0-9]+$ EXECUTE /bin/dd
if=$mntpnt/\1 of=/dev/null count=1
IDE OLDCOMPAT /dev/hd?? names
LOOKUP ^(hd[a-z])[0-9]+$ EXECUTE /bin/dd if=$mntpnt/\1
of=/dev/null
count=1
Error message at boot time:
Bad WHEN in config line: "IDE NEWCOMPAT /dev/ide/hd/* names"
My system is a RH 7.2 kernel 2.4.18, devfsd 1.3.25, internal IDE ZIP
250.
If there is a disk at boot time, the device drive exists on
/dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/{disc,part4} and /dev/hdc[4]
Any hints ?
