It's embarassing but I will come clean... On Mon, Aug 19, 2002 at 06:04:57AM -0400, lvm@interlinx.bc.ca wrote: > > there are no device nodes under > /dev/ide/host0/bus[01]/target0/. Strange. Not so strange once I looked more closely. To try to soften the embarassment, let me explain. I am moving a disk from one motherboard to another. The board the disk was created on had two pairs (primary and secondary times two) of IDE ports. Regular, ol' IDE on ports on hda-hdd and ATA100 on ports hde-hdh. Since the disk in question is an ATA 100 disk, I put it on hde to take advantage of the faster bus speed. Not wanting to waste "good" ATA 100 ports on silly devices like CD-RW drives I put mine on hda. And of course since it's a writer, added "hda=ide-scsi" to the kernel command line. I think you know where this is going. In moving the disk to the new motherboard, it only has a single pair of IDE ports (primary and secondary), all ATA100, hda-hdd. So, naturally, I put the disk on hda, which was being masked by the hda=ide-scsi kernel parameter. Thus the empty /dev/ide/.../lun0/ directory. Sorry to bother y'all with such a silly mistake. :-) b. -- Brian J. Murrell
