Hi Dennis,
I had exactly the same problem with you. I agree Marino that it's about
DMA. But i won't agree you've no need to have the dvd-rom scsi-emulated.
You'll need emulation on both if you use cdrdao-based program like K3B to
clone cd's.
I solved my problems in 3 steps:
-I appended hdc=ide-cd while booting with grub.
-When opened, i used the related Yast section to enable DMA for my dvd
drive.
-I rebooted. (This time without the ide-cd setting)
And my dvd drive is now both dma & ide-scsi.
And about the links :
There may be links like this : /dev/cdrom, /dev/cdrecorder, /dev/dvd,
/dvd, /cdrom, /cdrecorder.
You have to test them with an eject statement. If anyone is wrong, rm it &
recreate a link from /dev/sr0 or /dev/sr1.
But i guess you don't need to remove /media/whatever, for it's a mount
point and not a link.
Since i'm also a newbie, i may be wrong but i'm sure someone will warn you
if i am..

I created the link /dev/sr1 -> /media/dvd, is this correctly done? Not sure... If Ogle finds your DVD there is no complainig... however I linked /dev/sr0 (my dvd) to /dev/dvd... does it make a diff... not sure... but my laptop plays dvd just fine.... I would try: rm /media/dvd ln /dev/sr0 /dev/dvd
However I am putting my money on DMA not being enabled... you'll let us know... __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
