mount: special device /dev/hda does not exist

Forgot to mention this is with Edgy.

messages it long but the begin shows a problem and there is more stuff further down.

after a new install of edgy, same problem: special device /dev/hdb does not exist.
Under dapper I think the drive was listed as hdb

what I found out is if I boot with acpi=off then I have the cdrom working but no wifi card recognized. With acpi, then I have wifi card recognized but no cdrom.

Thought it could have been from the live install so I installed via netboot (trying to install directly from cd is a no no as it's telling me files are corrupted while nothing is wrong - mtest ok, cd check ok, md5sum ok)

So looking at this install problem it seems that the cdrom starts not being recognized correctly during the install.

Please tell me what logs you want and I will provide you with logs generated with acpi=off and on for you to hopefully find the difference.

Thanks for submitting this report.

Could you please provide the output of

sudo lshw -C disk

Thanks

Unfortunately, I no longer have access to this machine. Sorry that I didn't take more time to save all the logs. I'll ask to see if my friend still has this machine.

I had the same problem. Here is my output:

Hi,
I have the same problem here. I installed gutsy-tribe2 in my new notebook (Lenovo 3000 V200) and the cdrom isn't working. Fstab says it should be in /dev/hda but it seems that udev didn't create it. When I try to mount /media/cdrom, the system says /dev/hda doesn't exist. I could create hda with "mknod /dev/hda b 3 0". Then the cdrom started working.

Persio

Timm Preetz: There is no CDROM detected at all. Therefore it is not necessarily a problem of a missing dev-file. Please submit your problem to the answer tracker https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/ and get some help finding out why the CDROM is not detected and submit a new bug with the information obtain if there is no solution found.

Persio: Could you please provide the output of
sudo lshw -C disk. As mentioned before, udev is mapping drives now to different dev files. Did you install gustsy-tribe2 from scratch or did you upgrade?
Thanks
