Hi All! I just found a problem with SuSE 9.1 and my installation: I can't use the DVD-ROM on my second IDE channel. The info from the various logs and /proc is included below. I've swapped my DVD-RW on IDE0 with it, and it works fine. So, I doubt that it is the device (it burns find, too!). It shows up in the BIOS. Note the difference for IDE0 under /proc. If I try to mount /dev/hdc: helios:/ # mount /dev/hdc /media/cdrom/ mount: /dev/hdc is not a valid block device helios:/ # grep Pioneer /var/log/boot.msg <4>hdc: Pioneer DVD-ROM ATAPIModel DVD-114 0110, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive and proc shows: helios:/ # cat /proc/ide/ide1/hdc/model Pioneer DVD-ROM ATAPIModel DVD-114 0110 helios:/ # cat /proc/ide/ide1/hdc/driver ide-default version 0.9.newide <--IDE0 reports "ide-cdrom version 4.61" helios:/ # cat /proc/ide/ide1/hdc/settings name value min max mode ---- ----- --- --- ---- current_speed 0 0 70 rw ide-scsi 0 0 1 rw init_speed 0 0 70 rw io_32bit 0 0 3 rw keepsettings 0 0 1 rw nice1 1 0 1 rw number 2 0 3 rw pio_mode write-only 0 255 w unmaskirq 0 0 1 rw using_dma 0 0 1 rw Any suggestions?
