I may have deleted this email, so please don't spank me. On a whim I decided to go ahead and check out 8.1 Works fine so far except that I can't mount /media/cdrecorder properly and my DVD drive shows up as a SCSI drive. What's going on?
Please keep in mind that I have an IDE DVD drive and IDE scsi drive. In the past the DVD drive showed up as a regular CD for the most part. So this doesn't make any sense to me. If I do a cdrecord-scanbus I get the following...
scsibus0: 0,0,0 0) 'MT1316 ' 'BDV212B ' '0.36' Removable CD-ROM 0,1,0 1) 'HP ' 'CD-Writer+ 8200a' '1.0g' Removable CD-ROM 0,2,0 2) * 0,3,0 3) * 0,4,0 4) * 0,5,0 5) * 0,6,0 6) * 0,7,0 7) * scsibus1: 1,0,0 100) 'SanDisk ' 'ImageMate II ' '1.30' Removable Disk 1,1,0 101) * 1,2,0 102) * 1,3,0 103) * 1,4,0 104) * 1,5,0 105) * 1,6,0 106) * 1,7,0 107) *
I believe that first device on scsibus0 is my DVD drive. I can't think of what else it could be. Any ideas how to fix this?
Your dvd player would be called /dev/sr0 and your recorder /dev/sr1 according to the above. Make sure the device symlinks listed in /etc/fstab points to those devices and you should be able to work with both drives again. It looks to me like the reason for the DVD drive suddenly becoming ide-scsi is that SuSE has started compiling ide-cd as a module. They didn't do that before. What append line do you have in your boot loader, and do you have any lines for ide-scsi or ide-cd in /etc/modules.conf? Anders
