"Ralph F. De Witt"
I have a brand new SuSE 7.2 system running on a Asus A7V system. I have one DVD as master on the secondary controller and one CD-RW as slave on the secondary controller both are ide devices. Atempting to get my CD-RW to work I have done the following to my SuSE 7.2 system. I went to root and
in lilo.conf, I have added the line, append="hdd=ide-scsi"
It's OK, but your lilo.conf contains: append = "append=hdd=ide-scsi" My guess is that the kernel doesn't understand it at therefore hdd is not handled as a scsi device.
I have not done anything to fstab and mtab
Unless you want some troubles, don't modify /etc/mtab ;-). Having corrected your lilo.conf and rebooted the following two modules should be loaded: # lsmod ide-scsi 8016 0 sg 22464 0 -- Alexandr.Malusek@imv.liu.se
