Hello everyone,
I only subscribed to that mailing list, because I'm a very curious person and I
always have to know everything. ^_-
Once I read about DEVFS, I simply had to try it.
I installed DEVFSD, recompiled the Kernel (v 2.4.2) and everything worked fine.
Except one problem:
My HDs are /dev/hgd and /dev/hdf (connected to my second IDE controller).
Both had been there (thanks to DEVFSD), as well as under their new name.
But my CDROM wasn't there anymore. It usually should be /dev/hda, but neither
that, nor the new device names for the first IDE controller existed.
I recompiled the kernel and found out that the CDROM support was set to
"module". After I compiled it into the Kernel, the device was there (/dev/hda)
and I could use it.
But since I don't use the CDROM pretty often, I usually compile CDROM support
and the ISO9660 support as modules.
Here's my question:
I thought if I compile the CDROM support as module and later on load that
module, the DEVFS will add a new device and thanks to DEVFSD it will also exist
as /dev/hda
But it wasn't there.
Is there any way to get it there or is the only chance compiling CDROM support
into the Kernel?
