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? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
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?
