I resolved the cdrmo problem. The symbolic link in /dev for cdrom was pointing to hdb
(what is now the CDR drive). I assume that this is pointing here because the original
config did not use hdb at all (although I thought this was cable based, not device
connected based). So, when I deleted and readded the link with it pointing to hdd the
mount works. (Sorry, I should have checked this before my first email).
I pulled and re-sat all of the drive cables and the errors continue.
The DMA errors still occur. I went into my bios and attempted to turn off DMA, Ultra DMA
was disabled and there was no way to turn off DMA (this is a relatively new Intel board
with a PIII 933 chip). But, other than the errors, I have no problems accessing any of my
drives or the original CDrom drive.
Thanks for the suggestions. I will continue to hunt on this, I found a lot of links regarding
this by searching Google.
I will let everyone know if I resolve this problem.

Check your IDE Cables and make sure they are in there tight. I had that problem when I added another CDROM and fixed it by pulling the cable off and re-attaching them.

Hello everyone,
I have successfully installed an older HP CDR drive (7200-i) on my SuSE 7.3 pro box. A few hiccups, but it is now running just fine. I ahve not burned anything yet because I want to resolve my new issues first.
Now, when I reboot I get errors with my harddisk (hda). The errors showed up immediately after I connected my CDR drive and turne the box back on. The original configuration was:
hda - hard disk hdb - nothing hdc - hard disk hdd - cdrom drive
This worked just fine. The new configuration is:
hda - hard disk hdb - HP CDR/W drive hdc - hard disk hdd - cdrom drive
The errors I am getting are:

I added the line in lilo.conf to append: hdb=ide-scsi (but the errors were happening before I did this).
ALSO, i cannot mount my original cdrom drive. At the root directory where i have the cdrom directory, I used to be able to do mount cdrom and then access the drive. Now when I try, it gives me an error 'you must specify the filesystem type'. When I specify auto for the file system type it gives me the error message 'cdrom is not a block device'.
Does anyone know what I can do to resolve this?
Thanks,
Jim
