mystified Posted December 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Could mysti do an "ls /dev/hd*" ? I'd like to see the permissions on the drive. James ls /dev/hdc doesn't show permissions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystified Posted December 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 tyme got me thinking with his devfs. I was thinking, no we quit using that and it's in lilo. So I went and checked lilo in mandriva and looked for the line which should look like this: append="Gentoo = nodevfs " Unfortunately I had left an o off of Gentoo. I went duh! Edited the line, rebooted and now they work! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
