Description merwan kashouty 2004-03-16 23:23:59 UTC
i am not able to use my usb flash card reader with mm-sources , when i try to mout the device i am getting this error

 $ mount /mnt/flash
mount: special device /dev/sde1 does not exist

when i ran /sbin/lilo after compiling the kernel and cp the image to /boot i am seeing this warning.

# /sbin/lilo 
Warning: '/proc/partitions' does not match '/dev' directory structure.
    Name change: '/dev/sde' -> '/dev/scsi/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/disc'
    The kernel was compiled without DEVFS, but the '/dev' directory structure
        implements the DEVFS filesystem.
Added MM-Sources *
Added GS-Sources

the kernel ahs devfs support and dmesg shows it working... anyone have this trouble or annything similar?

could check that:

1 you did not forgot something like scsi disk support and usb_storage
2 that isn't a lilo wierdness
3 that your flash device isn't now mapped to another scsi disk

?

hey lu_zero... interestingly enough it was lilo... thanks for the suggestions.... i emerged grub and $mount /mnt/flash worked fine with 2.6.5-rc1-mm1... go figure.... thanks again

should a bug of some sort be filed on lilo?
