The kernel issues the uevent for the floppy device. Then udev calls /lib/udev/create_floppy_devices to set up the device nodes outside of fd0. The rule looks like this: KERNEL=="fd[0-9]", GROUP="floppy" KERNEL=="fd[0-9]", ACTION=="add", ATTRS{cmos}=="?*", RUN+="create_floppy_devices -c -t $attr{cmos} -m %M -M 0640 -G floppy $root/%k On my system, the cmos type is 4, so it should be called as: create_floppy_devices -c -t 4 -m 2 -M 0640 -G floppy /dev/fd0 If I call this manually, the device nodes are properly created. But for some reason, $attr{cmos} is getting passed as empty, so it's doing this: create_floppy_devices -c -t -m 2 -M 0640 -G floppy /dev/fd0 It exits with "Device '2' is not a floppy device" since -t is consuming -m as its argument. % udevadm info --attribute-walk --name=fd0 looking at device '/devices/platform/floppy.0/block/fd0': KERNEL=="fd0" SUBSYSTEM=="block" DRIVER=="" ATTR{range}=="1" ATTR{ext_range}=="1" ATTR{removable}=="1" ATTR{ro}=="0" ATTR{size}=="8" ATTR{alignment_offset}=="0" ATTR{capability}=="11" ATTR{stat}==" 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0" ATTR{inflight}==" 0 0" looking at parent device '/devices/platform/floppy.0': KERNELS=="floppy.0" SUBSYSTEMS=="platform" DRIVERS=="floppy" ATTRS{modalias}=="platform:floppy" ATTRS{cmos}=="4" looking at parent device '/devices/platform': KERNELS=="platform" SUBSYSTEMS=="" DRIVERS=="" An update to udev 149 didn't fix it. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Thanks a lot! Fixed in udev upstream: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/hotplug/udev.git;a=blob;f=extras/floppy/60-fl... The floppy rule moved to its own file, which will be installed with the next udev version. If you like, you should be able to drop the above linked file into /lib/udev/rules.d/ to make it work on your system, even when the current udev package is re-installed. The version in Factory will be fixed with the next upstream version update, which should happen pretty soon. If there will be an update for udev for openSUSE 11.2, we will include this fix. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
