Do you have more than 26 ide devices in your system? The scsi names can handle many more than 26 devices, if you have a lot of disks I suggest you use scsi instead :) Anyway, that's not a udev issue, sorry. > I recall that one reason for the devfs /dev/ide/... approach > is that it didn't introduce any arbitrary device limitations.
