I'm running 2.6.4-rc1 and Fedora Core 1. None of my removable devices appear in
/sys/block. I'm missing fd0, hdc, hdd. I'm booting directly with udev to an
almost empty (console) /dev directory. I agree that udev can't do anything if
the entries aren't in /sys/block.
But what do I have to do to the kernel to those entries appear? I know that if I
manually create a device node and touch the device the entries will appear. Am I
the only person seeing this? I run SMP with ACPI enabled on a hyperthread P4
which may be a little uncommon.
