Is /proc/partitions correct?? If not, check 'dmesg' for the problem. Did the correct device show up under /dev/ide/...? If not, again, 'dmesg' should have an error message for you. Otherwise, I think devfsd is failing to create hda7. I have no idea where devfsd errors go to.../var/log/messages would be my best guess. Or it could be a configuration problem...examine /dev/devfsd.conf and /dev/devfsd.d/*. I'm not really familiar with devfs, so this is pretty much the limit of the assistance I can give. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
