Hi, I've installed SuSE 7.3 on my G4/450. I've changed the original CD with an "Apple" CD-RW ( Matshita CW 7586). When i installed SuSE i've got an problem to find CD2. I've used /sbin/modprobe ide-scsi like SuSE said and edited the boot.local in the same way. The installation was fine, but now no CD will be shown. With cdrecord -scanbus the device was found as a SCSI-device (it is IDE). What is wrong an how can i get my cd running ??
Did you install with yast2 or yast1? Yast2 should setup everything in lilo.conf for ide-scsi. It just doesnt know that ide-scsi.o is a module on ppc. I think yast1 doesnt know about ide-scsi. Please check the append= line in /etc/lilo.conf, there should be something like append = "hdc=ide-scsi" hdc is the CD drive, your setup may differ. To find out the exact device name use this command: grep -l cdrom /proc/ide/hd*/media /proc/ide/hdc/media So, hdc would be the drive, and it will become sr0 after a "modprobe ide-scsi". Use "cat /proc/scsi/scsi" to see the recognized scsi devices. Gruss Olaf -- $ man clone BUGS Main feature not yet implemented...
