Subject: hotpluggable ide cd-rom drive?
Date: Mon, 17 Mar 2003 12:56:28 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <marc-linux-hotplug-104790612323451@msgid-missing> (raw)
Hi,
I'm new to linux, but recently loaded RedHat 8.0 on my Dell Latitude CSx H
laptop. The laptop comes with external floppy and cd-rom drives that
connect to an ide port on the laptop. On Windows 2000 the drives are
hot-pluggable.
My problem is that while the floppy drive is hot-pluggable in RH 8.0, the
cd-rom drive is not. If I boot with the cd-rom drive connected, everything
works, I see the /proc/ide/ide1 directory and the hdc device. kudzu then
links it to /dev/cdrom and I can mount the drive. If I boot without the
cd-rom drive connected, the /proc/ide/ide1 directory is NOT there and kudzu
can not find it, even after I plug the drive in.
Is there a user level command to kick the ide-probe module into probing the
ide bus again? Or is work going on to get the kernel to support
hot-pluggable ide drives? Or am I just missing some configuration
parameter?
If this is not the right list for this question, please direct me to a
better list. I have already asked in redhat-install and linux-laptop lists
without an answer.
Thanks,
Kari
