[ltp] T30 2.6.17.8, Ububntu Dapper, /dev/hdc not created??

[kaens]

I thought that as well. . . I don't know my way around configuring
udev too well yet though. . .

cat /etc/udev/rules.d/* | grep -i cd produces:

ENV{VIO_TYPE}=="viocd",                 RUN+="/sbin/modprobe -Qba viocd"
****************************************************************************************

The only thing I could see that might be causing a problem was:

ENV{IDE_MEDIA}=="cdrom",                RUN+="/sbin/modprobe -Qba ide-cd"

as I do not have ide-cd compiled as a module, it's part of the kernel.
Commenting it out didn't help anything though. Any suggesstions?
