I noticed a few funny synlinks within /dev: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2005-03-21 15:33:54.196950896 +0100 device2 -> hd= a2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2005-03-21 15:33:54.196950896 +0100 not2 -> hda2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2005-03-21 15:33:54.196950896 +0100 found2 -> hda2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2005-03-21 15:33:54.196950896 +0100 in2 -> hda2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2005-03-21 15:33:54.196950896 +0100 database2 -> = hda2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2005-03-21 15:33:54.471909096 +0100 device1 -> hd= c1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2005-03-21 15:33:54.471909096 +0100 not1 -> hdc1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2005-03-21 15:33:54.471909096 +0100 found1 -> hdc1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2005-03-21 15:33:54.471909096 +0100 in1 -> hdc1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2005-03-21 15:33:54.471909096 +0100 database1 -> = hdc1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2005-03-21 15:33:54.785861368 +0100 mknod: -> hda lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2005-03-21 15:33:54.785861368 +0100 No -> hda lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2005-03-21 15:33:54.785861368 +0100 such -> hda lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2005-03-21 15:33:54.785861368 +0100 file -> hda lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2005-03-21 15:33:54.785861368 +0100 or -> hda lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2005-03-21 15:33:54.785861368 +0100 directory\nat= a_identify: -> hda lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2005-03-21 15:33:54.844852400 +0100 mknod:1 -> hd= g1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2005-03-21 15:33:54.844852400 +0100 No1 -> hdg1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2005-03-21 15:33:54.844852400 +0100 such1 -> hdg1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2005-03-21 15:33:54.844852400 +0100 file1 -> hdg1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2005-03-21 15:33:54.844852400 +0100 or1 -> hdg1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2005-03-21 15:33:54.844852400 +0100 directory1 ->= hdg1 I don't know exactly, what caused this in depth. But I found udevinfo prints all error messages to stdout instead of using stderr, like: if (retval !=3D 0) { printf("device not found in database\n"); goto exit; } seems this is taken as a list of symliks to create. Seems there is some "ata_identify" utility involved, but I could not find how this is used. It does not apear within the official udev-056 release. Seems to be some SuSE/Redhad addition. Can some one give me a hint, how to debug this? During boot there are some messages scrolling by, but finally the console-font gets switched which cli= ps off my console history :-( Dieter. --=20 Dieter St=FCken, con terra GmbH, M=FCnster stueken@conterra.de http://www.conterra.de/ (0)251-7474-501 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: 2005 Windows Mobile Application Contest Submit applications for Windows Mobile(tm)-based Pocket PCs or Smartphones for the chance to win $25,000 and application distribution.
