Recently I upgraded from 2.6.11.11 to 2.6.12.3. This morning I tried
using my Zip drive... unfortunately it doesn't work under 2.6.12.3. To
verify that this was a kernel problem, I rebooted to 2.6.11.11. Here's
some relevant output using 2.6.11.11:
uname -a:
Linux michelangelo 2.6.11.11 #2 SMP Fri Jun 3 21:02:33 EDT 2005 i686
Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 1700MHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
parts of dmesg:

hdd: hdd4

michelangelo ~ # df -h

/dev/hdd4 96M 0 96M 0% /mnt/zip
And here's what happens under the 2.6.12 kernel:
Linux michelangelo 2.6.12.3 #1 SMP Wed Jul 20 18:14:36 EDT 2005 i686
Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 1700MHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
ide1: BM-DMA at 0xffa8-0xffaf, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:DMA
hdd: IOMEGA ZIP 250 ATAPI, ATAPI FLOPPY drive
hdd: 98304kB, 196608 blocks, 512 sector size
hdd: 98304kB, 96/64/32 CHS, 4096 kBps, 512 sector size, 2941 rpm
hdd: CHECK for good STATUS
hdd: hdd4
michelangelo ~ # mount /dev/hdd4 /mnt/zip
mount: special device /dev/hdd4 does not exist
michelangelo ~ #
Every time I run that "mount" command under 2.6.12.3 I get that same error
message, and each time this line shows up in my dmesg again:
hdd: hdd4
Something else weird happens when I run the "mount" command. Right after
running the command, /dev/hdd4 disappears for a few seconds, then
re-appears:
michelangelo ~ # ls -al /dev/hdd4
brw-rw---- 1 root root 22, 68 Jul 21 11:05 /dev/hdd4
michelangelo ~ # mount /dev/hdd4 /mnt/zip
mount: special device /dev/hdd4 does not exist
michelangelo ~ # ls -al /dev/hdd4
ls: /dev/hdd4: No such file or directory
michelangelo ~ # ls -al /dev/hdd4
ls: /dev/hdd4: No such file or directory
michelangelo ~ # ls -al /dev/hdd4
brw-rw---- 1 root root 22, 68 Jul 21 11:06 /dev/hdd4
michelangelo ~ #
I'm using udev-058. Should I be using a newer version of udev with
2.6.12? Or is this a kernel bug? Please CC my e-mail address in any
replies since I am not subscribed to this list.
thanks,
