[SLE] Philips CD-RW problem
Hi :) I'm trying to set up a friends IDE/ATAPI Philips CD-RW 800 under SuSE 6.4 with kernel 2.2.14 and 2.2.16 and there's no way to get it going. It's connected as hdc (scd0 with SCSI emulation). We've gone over to SuSE's HW database and it is not supported, but my Ricoh CD-RW isn't supported either (at least it's not listed there) and it works perfectly :) I've tried everything (compiling with and with out IDE CDROM support, SCSI emulation as module, SCSI emulation compiled into the kernel, append"hdc=ide-scsi", kernel 2.2.14, kernel 2.2.16, ...) but it always gets recognised as a plain CD-ROM, no CD-R and no CD-RW. The thing is, my friend installed Mandrake 7.0 before I convinced him to move over to SuSE and Mandrake recognised it as a CD-RW without any problem during the installation process and it worked perfectly. Now that I've convinced him to move over to SuSE, there's no way to get his CD-RW to work properly :( He says that if there's no way to get it going under SuSE, he'll switch over to Mandrake again :"( Any ideas?

What do you mean by "gets recognised"? You mean that's what gets printed at boot time? Or that's what cdrecord says it is? Have you actually tried cdrecord with it? I have a friend who's just got one of these and he's asking me for help (he's a newbie). Until I go to see him (he lives some way away) I won't know much about it, but once I do I might be able to help. In the meantime, if you get it to work I'd appreciate the how-to!

Any ideas?
Does cdrecord -scanbus shows something about the CD-RW device?
Normally a modprobe ide-scsi && modprobe sr_mod should be enough to make it
recognized. In my case, I noticed that when the sg module is loaded I can't
mount anything on the CD-RW device (a RICOH MP9060 for me).
