SuSE 9.1 problem - can't use/find DVD
Hi All! I just found a problem with SuSE 9.1 and my installation: I can't use the DVD-ROM on my second IDE channel. The info from the various logs and /proc is included below. I've swapped my DVD-RW on IDE0 with it, and it works fine. So, I doubt that it is the device (it burns find, too!). It shows up in the BIOS. Note the difference for IDE0 under /proc. If I try to mount /dev/hdc: helios:/ # mount /dev/hdc /media/cdrom/ mount: /dev/hdc is not a valid block device helios:/ # grep Pioneer /var/log/boot.msg <4>hdc: Pioneer DVD-ROM ATAPIModel DVD-114 0110, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive and proc shows: helios:/ # cat /proc/ide/ide1/hdc/model Pioneer DVD-ROM ATAPIModel DVD-114 0110 helios:/ # cat /proc/ide/ide1/hdc/driver ide-default version 0.9.newide <--IDE0 reports "ide-cdrom version 4.61" helios:/ # cat /proc/ide/ide1/hdc/settings name value min max mode ---- ----- --- --- ---- current_speed 0 0 70 rw ide-scsi 0 0 1 rw init_speed 0 0 70 rw io_32bit 0 0 3 rw keepsettings 0 0 1 rw nice1 1 0 1 rw number 2 0 3 rw pio_mode write-only 0 255 w unmaskirq 0 0 1 rw using_dma 0 0 1 rw Any suggestions?

Okay, what that gives me is below. It is only seeing the DVD-RW on IDE0.

Sorry watching a game of football football here dk - it watch in the /media folder - I just did surprise .... nothing ;-) OK .... if you put the SuSE DVD in it (9.1) and cd to that folder maybe that is also some "hot-shit" service. any change for you ?? Can happen that some update killed the normal dvd-entries on my P4 system there is a dvdrecorder entry but the old P2 system says cdrecorder so the DVD entry is missing now (it a DVD-rom /CD R/RW) Mandag 14 juni 2004 18:09 skrev Mike Pelley:

Did you check the jumpers on the drives? One should be master, the other slave, do not use cable select on these! Lee -- --- KMail v1.6.2 --- SuSE Linux Pro v9.1 --- Registered Linux User #225206 On any other day, that might seem strange...
I've just rebooted into SuSE 9.0 (and Fedora Core 2) and both devices work. It seems like the hardware detection isn't working correctly in SuSE 9.1 . Under SuSE 9.1 I get the following assignments: DVD-RW uses /dev/hda with /dev/dvdrom as a symlink DVD-ROM uses /dev/sr0 with /dev/dvd as the symlink How do I go about manually configuring SuSE 9.1 to use /dev/sr0? Something with mkdev? Thanks, Mike BandiPat wrote:

Folks - I finany have my DVD-ROM working. I boot from the GRUB bootloader from my SuSE 9.0 installation. When I installed 9.1, I didn't install the bootloader, but cloned the SuSE 9.0 menu item in GRUB. For some reason, that didn't work! Anyway, I removed the following from the kernel line: hdc=ide-scsi hdclun=0 and when I rebooted SuSE 9.1 found the DVD-ROM and everything is working fine. Now, the question is why didn't the cloning work? It seems logical to me that it would, but I was obviously wrong. Can anyone tell me the error of my ways? ;=) Cheers, Mike Mike Pelley wrote:

I believe the new kernel, 2.6, has atapi built in and does not use/need hdc=ide-scsi.... Please trim your posts. tks gud luk, -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/photos
Hi, I am trying to display my box onto my HDTV, but it keeps on giving me 640x480 resolution, but accourding to some info on the net, my tv which is 1080i should get somewhere around 1900x1004i resolution. Anyone got it more than me? I am using DVI output. henry

I don't really know what you mean by 'cloning' the menu item, other than you copied what was in your 9.0 menu list over to the 9.1 menu list.... along with all of the kernel parms from 9.0 Not a good idea. The scsi parm for IDE drives is no longer needed with the 2.6.x kernels.
