I've got the exactly the same problem although i've physically only got 2 cd drives Suse diplays 8 of each! Mind everything seems to work ok ie cd writing etc, but it is rather irritating Richard G. On Sunday 06 October 2002 09:30, Josef wrote:
Same with me here. Both my dvd and cd-rw were configured as scsi devices, about 12 of them....I have not figured any way out of this yet , but cannot possibly see how such an occurence failed to be spotted by SuSe. Regards, Josef

Here's as weird one:
I have just installed 8.1 on my trusty Athlon that works fine with 8.0.
I have a Toshiba DVD on hdb and a LiteOn CDRW on hdc. 8.0 correctly configured lilo and initrd to load SCSI emulation for HDC and all was well.
With 8.1 SCSI emulation sees both the DVD and CDRW as SCSI devices, although grub is configured with hdc=ide-scsi. To make matters worse it thinks that both devices have 7 logical devices so I end up with 14 SCSI devices!!
I can probably live with having 7 CDRWs but I would rather like to the DVD back to being recognised as an IDE device and not a SCSI device. Does anybody have any ideas, should I revert to using lilo instead of grub, or is it a problem with the ide-scsi module.
TIA
