  I'm not sure why, since no problem occurs in my environment (both in
IDE and in SCSI). So you should investigate your problem yourself. Try
to track the function "device_open" in linux/dev/glue/block.c, and see
where the function returns incorrectly (possibly the return value is
D_NO_SUCH_DEVICE).
