No, I don't have that > installed. Actually, I meant if devfs was mounted. But I've heard debian won't work if you have devfs mounted but don't have devfsd running, so it's not that... > Here is something I think might be relavent: > > $ lsmod | grep ide > ide-scsi 8464 0 (autoclean) > scsi_mod 85312 2 (autoclean) [sd_mod ide-scsi] > ide-cd 27936 0 > cdrom 25056 0 [ide-cd] > ide-detect 288 0 (autoclean) (unused) > ide-disk 12512 7 (autoclean) > ide-core 94108 7 (autoclean) [ide-scsi ide-cd ide-detect sis5513 > ide-disk] > > > Are they all necessary?
