Ok, here's my problem... The SCSI generic driver is attaching to the HDD. I can mount the reiserfs disk using the SCSI emulated name but not as /dev/hda1. I have used SCSI generic support extensively in the past and never had this problem. Does anyone have any insight into this issue? SCSI generic is required to support cd burning under Linux.

hda: ST3300631A, ATA DISK drive
hdb: CD-W58E, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive

Tried to mount /dev/hda1 as reiserfs but got error 2
No primary hard disk

Edit: Apparently, the problem was caused by devfs being compiled into the kernel. The /dev files should be copied from the original directory by using "cp -dpR /dev/* /destination".
