Hi, I just installed CentOS 4.3 on a PATA drive and later installed 2 SATA2 (300mbit/s) disk drives.

The patched sata_via driver detect the drives and I can use them, but only if I manually create the /dev/sda and /dev/sdb files using mknod.

My question is: why udev does not create /dev/sda at boot time?

Many thanks Oliver
