on boot I get the error: udev: /bin/cat /proc/ide/hdd/media: Input/Output error also, typing the command: #cat /proc/ide/hdd/media cat /proc/ide/hdd/media: Input/Output error #ls -l /dev/hdd brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 64 Dec 7 14:38 /dev/hdd
However, I can successfully mount CDs on the drive.
I have installed udev-039-10.FC3.2 .
I just found a very recent patch on bugzilla.redhat.com which fixed the problem:
