Hi, having the following problem: I have an USB CD ROM, which is attached to my LINUX machine (FC3, Vanilla Kernel 2.6.10) already at boot time. But I can't file the /dev entry, and a mount is impossible. Only if I unplug and plug in the USB device, I can use it. Question: what to do for using the device directly after boot without plugging out/in? Any help appreciated. -- Regards Joachim Backes Joachim Backes <backes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> University of Kaiserslautern,Computer Center, High Performance Computing, D-67653 Kaiserslautern, PO Box 3049, Germany -------------------------------------------------- Phone: +49-631-205-2438, FAX: +49-631-205-3056 http://hlrwm.rhrk.uni-kl.de/home/staff/backes.html
