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. --- Greg KH wrote: > On Thu, Feb 26, 2004 at 06:17:55PM -0800, Jon Smirl wrote: > > How do I make removable block devices appear in sysfs?
