Subject: yaird does not load ide-cd. Now what?
Date: Fri, 06 Jan 2006 01:06:21 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <43BDC28D.60209@bl.com> (raw)

I've heard back from yaird; they don't load ide-cd because they don't 
need it to load the initial root directory. That's a feature, not a bug.

For initramfs, udev provided the scripts/init-bottom/udev script that 
checked to see if an ide device was a cdrom and then loaded that CDROM.

How does udev intend to work under yaird, which doesn't have scripts of 
this nature? What program is responsible for loading ide-cd 
automatically during boot?

I could write a udev rule to check each ide drive as it loaded, and 
modprobe ide-cd if the drive is a CDROM drive -- that'd be similar to 
the udev script I reference above. However, I suspect that I'm missing 
some basic understanding of how the modules are supposed to be loaded 
for yaird+udev.
