Here is a small patch to ide.c to correct an error message it prints:
--- linux/drivers/block/ide.c.dist Sun Jul 14 10:20:39 1996 +++ linux/drivers/block/ide.c Sun Jul 14 10:20:59 1996 @@ -1685,7 +1685,7 @@ return drive; } else if (major == IDE0_MAJOR && unit < 4) { printk("ide: probable bad entry for /dev/hd%c\n", 'a'+unit); - printk("ide: to fix it, run: /usr/src/linux/drivers/block/MAKEDEV.ide\n"); + printk("ide: to fix it, run: /usr/src/linux/scripts/MAKEDEV.ide\n"); } break; } The reason I noticed this discrepancy is because I see it several times every time I run lilo (v19). For each entry in my lilo.conf file I get this on my console:
Jul 14 10:29:18 kb5yvf kernel: ide: probable bad entry for /dev/hdc Jul 14 10:29:18 kb5yvf kernel: ide: to fix it, run: /usr/src/linux/drivers/block/MAKEDEV.ide
Of course, I've run the MAKEDEV.ide from the scripts directory, but I still get these errors. Does anyone know what this thing is complaining about. I don't even have a hdc on my machine.
