Hi everyone.
After adding the append=ide-scsi line in LILO and loading the ide-scsi module in boot.local I can no longer access my CD-RW as /dev/cdrom nor as /dev/scdx where I have tried all reasonable values of x. I get ' ... not recognised as block device'. The HOWTO has a script which tells me that I am missing the module sr_mod. I have SuSE 7.0 on a new machine and they tell me that with the pentium optimised kernel that this is all I need. What is this sr_mod stuff?
BTW, my DVD drive still works fine on hdd. The CDRW is hdc.
If you are using ide-scsi CDRW can not be any longer hdc have you through YAST intergrated hardware and told yast that CDRW is at scdx which will create a symbolic link to your /dev/cdrom ls -a /dev/cdrom should tell you the actual block if it is still pointing to hdc go and change it
Any ideas anyone?

Hi everyone.
Sorry, but am still struggling to get my CD-RW working.
Neither /dev/cdrom nor /dev/scd0 nor /dev/sr0 are recognised as block devices by the kernel. I have tried force linking /dev/cdrom to both of the others but with no luck.
Needless to say, cdrecord -scanbus gives me no scsi devices.
Can anyone help?
Thanks, Steve.
Steve he's how I did my CDW My drive was orginally setup for hdc Your drive may be hdd, depends on your hadrware setup. In Yast through the kernal boot config look for the lilo config line. Once there add to the append line hdc=ide-scsi You can check after by looking into lilo.conf to see if it's there. You will see a line as append="hdc=ide-scsi" Next I added a line to /sbin/init.d/boot.local file. /sbin/modprobe ide-scsi Next edit line in /etc/modules.conf file from alias scsi_hostadapter off. Change this to alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi Last change is to go to /dev and look for symbolic link to cdrom it will be an icon with three blocks. Move that to trash (don't delete it, if something is wrong you can copy it back later to restore) you're going to have to make a new link for the scsi cdrom now. I assume you are root or in su, you want to creat a new link ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom Your device could be scd0 or sr0 depending on your CD hadware setup. Lastly look into you desktop icon for your CD and check the properties, hit device tab. It should say for Device /dev/cdrom and for Mount Point /cdrom In KDE 2 I had to change it as it said CD-ROM. Hope this helps as I know I spent a few hours on it myself and appreciated someone helping me out here as well. John.......
