I have a similar problem. I have dvd and cdrw, cdrw is on ide0 bus and dvd is on ide1: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 2002-10-14 23:54 hdb -> ide0/hdb lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 2002-10-14 23:54 hdc -> ide1/hdc I can mount the dvd: /dev/hdc on /media/dvd type iso9660 (ro,nosuid,nodev) and read it without any problems. The DVD doesn't show up in xcdroast, nor does YAST see it when I change installation media to /dev/dvd. When I do change the media to /dev/dvd it reads the cdrw drive. I have the sym link to /dev/dvd: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 2002-10-12 10:22 /dev/dvd -> /dev/hdc Why would it read only ide0? I have all the proper info in /etc/sysconfig/kernel and grub menu.1st specs out hdc=ide-cd. Don't know what to due to fix this, I would like to use the DVD to install software. BTW, if leave the DVD in the drive and reboot, the system boots off of the DVD. I can also watch movies using ogle. lost. -- _ _ __ _____ _____ ___| |_ | '__| / __\ \ /\ / / _ \/ _ \ __| -o) | | _ \__ \\ V V / __/ __/ |_ /\\ |_|(_) |___/ \_/\_/ \___|\___|\__|_\_v rsweet@garagenetworks.net "unix soit qui mal y pense."

There's some information on the xcdroast web site (I think that's where I saw it) about why it only recognizes scsi and scsi-emulated drives. Cheers, TonyB (Some prefer to be on top, some prefer the bottom. Personally I don't give a damn as long as it's short and to the point.)

Actually, the cdrtools package used by all cdwriting programs requires an scsi interface (or atapi). Even windows. The info is here: http://www.fokus.gmd.de/research/cc/glone/employees/joerg.schilling/private/... There, look for the howtos, sp "README.ATAPI". -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

Added to grub hdc=ide-cd, still the same results!
I think it should be ide-scsi, not ide-cd: at least, for the cdwriting programs to work. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

That was a suggestion by someone I thought I would try. I'm reaching out for anything now! I think my mind is starting to spin faster then a Cd. First we had to change cdrom to ide-cd to get the DVD drive to mount in Konqueror. Now if I go ide-scsi to get the CD writing programs to see my DVD drive I'm back at square one I think. This whole issue is unbelievable that Suse can't check out their distribution to see if it works. Hell even the lowest economy systems today come with a DVD and CR-RW drives. Of course my frustration is added to as I sit and watch Yast2 work on an online update for the last 45 minutes. I can't cancel it out with out resetting the machine to reboot. Oh yeah I have cable modem and it should of been done in a few minutes not going on an hour. Not to mention the 8.1 upgrade didn't go well and had to do a fresh install. Well I'll send this, kill the machine as Yast2 online update is still in never never land. I'm going to give my self time to cool off and let this sit. Might go another round on these issues once I have a few more cups of coffee. Getting close to packing Suse up and selling it off, then move on to something else. John

Ugh. Normal programs should be able to read files regardless of where they are. If you mean that an icon for mounting the DVD failed, or something similar, I don't know (I still have suse 7.3). But it has been comented here that suse 8.1 has a problem when detecting ide-scsi devices, that appear octuplicated (8 times, one for each lun). Maybe it was that.

It is not the first time :-(

You should be able to kill it. In kde, start "xkill", the mouse changes to a skull, point and shoot. Or, use "ps afx | less" on a console to learn the pid, and then "kill pidnumber"; If it is recumbent to die, then "kill -9 pidnumber"

You can start "iptraf" in a console (I don't know if you'll have it), and it can show the activity of any network interface: connected to/from IPs, bytes Tx/Rx... -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
