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

[kaens]

another clue: cat /var/log/syslog | grep CD has this line in it:

localhost NetworkManager: <debug info>^I[1157145816.816341]
nm_hal_device_removed (): Device removed (hal udi is
'/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_model_HL_DT_STCD_RW/DVD_DRIVE_GCC_4240N')

which means hal is removing my /dev/hdc? ... Now I need to figure out
how to find out why it's doing that, and how to fix it (also why
that's reported by NetworkManager??)
