I can't get raw i/o to work on my titanium, running unstable and benh kernel. I have the latest util-linux package and the latest everything else as well. When I try to make a raw device for my DVD player, I issue the command "raw /dev/raw0 /dev/hdc", and I simply get the usage message. Even "raw -qa" just gives me the usage message.
I have created the raw devices with major 162 and minor 0 (raw) and 1 (raw0). When I use strace, I can see that the raw program is not making any system calls at all, except the write() the usage message. Shall I assume that raw i/o simply doesn't work on ppc? Is there a particular kernel option that I need to switch on? grep RAW /usr/src/linux/config didn't turn up anything interesting. Regards, Jeffrey
