If you've been having trouble getting your pcmcia disk drive found recently, as I have, the problem may well be with the latest udev. A line in its persistent.rules disables such drives because udev does not know how to handle them. After flailing around, I finally downgraded from udev 0.105-4 all the way back to 0.098-2, and now I get the usual dmesg report,
hdi: TOSHIBA THNCF064MBA, CFA DISK drive ide4 at 0x5100-0x5107,0x510e on irq 3 hdi: max request size: 128KiB hdi: 125184 sectors (64 MB) w/2KiB Cache, CHS=978/4/32 hdi: hdi1 ide-cs: hdi: Vpp = 0.0 When I have time, I'll either spend the time to learn how to write udev rules, or maybe go up through successive versions and see where the trouble began. Or -- who knows -- maybe the udev developers will fix it before I get around to such desparate measures? Anyway, just a report from a not-very-knowledgeable user for others who may be in the same boat. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] 219 East Beck Street Columbus, OH 43206 home: 1-614-228-3623; cell: 1-614-477-6724 ==================================================== GPG key 1024D/99421A63 2005-01-05 EE51 79E9 F244 D734 A012 1CEC 7813 9FE9 9942 1A63 gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 99421A63
