Harddrives renaming themselves?

[lucky9]

Good plan. No sneaking up on it. Just dare it to mess up. (Usually works for me also.)

I guess it has worked keeping the dvd in the drive, I haven't seen it happen since I started doing that. Something to do I wager with the system seeing that the Plextor burner is not a harddrive. How to get that to happen without a disk in the drive, not a clue though *shrug* At least this works.


(I STILL keep eyeing the thing though haha)

We should probably report this upstream either to Debian or directly to the Linux Kernel Mailing List:

I think I found a bug, how do I report it?

BTW: BBCode seems to be turned off even though the box on the bottom left of the page says "BBCode is on". Both "url" and "b" tags failed to work.

You must have been a bad boy, b/c both work for me

But how did it know?

Maybe it was pilot error and I confused the textarea box with the preview.

I really hope this is indeed the solution, but it's been almost a week now with a number of reboots, I think 10-15 in total at least since I said I would try the disk in Plextor idea.

That is why I provided a link to the instructions. I'm very busy ATM with programming stuff for MX and antiX. I'm down to about 4 hours of sleep per night. It would be great if you could at least take a stab at reporting this.

I have no idea how to describe this or where to start, sorry my brain freaks out at the whole lot of text presented there.

Also that is a kernel thing? Is it? I have no clue how to even get my kernel info right off the bat (I simply cannot remember such things), let alone what it does.

I feel like a total noobdouche when I should post there, people will get irritated with me because I -am- one (been there done that), and it will turn out that you guys will have to answer questions that I get asked and have to relay here because I have no clue what it all means.


I am not shoving this away or anything, I just feel and know I am blown out of the water there

Eadwine - let's look at this tomorrow. It can wait and then I can help.
