Package: udev Version: 0.100-2.2 Hi,
As informed in #398305, D-I had some trouble recognizing my pcmcia cd-rom during installation. Digging a little bit more, I found that the symlink was correct in /dev/cdroms/, but the "list-devices" script was not able to find it. The problem is that "udevinfo -q env -p /block/hde" (from the list-devices script) don't return an ID_TYPE field as expected. So, with the system already installed, I tried out the following commands: # udevinfo -q all -p /block/hde P: /block/hde N: hde S: cdrom E: ID_CDROM=1 E: ID_CDROM_MRW=1 E: ID_CDROM_MRW_W=1 E: GENERATED=1 (Please note that this very same command from d-i didn't show any Env field, only Path, Name and Symlink. This is the output from the installed system). # udevtest /block/hde This program is for debugging only, it does not create any node, or run any program specified by a RUN key. It may show incorrect results, if rules match against subsystem specfic kernel event variables. main: looking at device '/block/hde' from subsystem 'block' run_program: 'cdrom_id --export /dev/.tmp-33-0' run_program: '/lib/udev/cdrom_id' (stdout) 'ID_CDROM=1' run_program: '/lib/udev/cdrom_id' (stdout) 'ID_CDROM_MRW=1' run_program: '/lib/udev/cdrom_id' (stdout) 'ID_CDROM_MRW_W=1' run_program: '/lib/udev/cdrom_id' returned with status 0 udev_rules_get_name: add symlink 'cdrom' udev_rules_get_name: no node name set, will use kernel name 'hde' udev_device_event: device '/block/hde' already in database, validate currently present symlinks udev_node_add: creating device node '/dev/hde', major = '33', minor = '0', mode = '0660', uid = '0', gid = '24' udev_node_add: creating symlink '/dev/cdrom' to 'hde' main: run: 'socket:/org/kernel/udev/monitor' main: run: '/etc/init.d/hdparm hotplug' I also ran the "ata_id" program from the "extras" directory of the udev sources. Interestenly, it showed the "ID_TYPE" field: # ./ata_id --export /dev/hde ID_TYPE=cd ID_MODEL=TOSHIBA_CD-ROM_XM-7002Bc ID_SERIAL= ID_REVISION=1910 ID_BUS=ata If there's something you want me to try in order to help, I'll be glad to.
