Probably out of sheer stupidity... Does it have something to do with the disk not being seen by fdisk? Actually it is something of a mute point now ... I decided to do a fresh install from (recent) gentoo minimal cd. I see already that at least the install OS has spotted and configured my new HDD. Do I need to do anything special to use udev? I see the install OS is using it. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
