Greetings all. I've just built a new box, and installed Suse-AMD64. Needless to say, it has a couple of problems that I could use some help with. I'll do this with a couple of threads, so I don't get them crossed up. I'll start with the set-up Suse 9.2 AMD 64 AMD Athlon 64 3600+ ASUS A8N-SLi Deluxe mobo 1 GB Corsair XMS DDR 400 memory 2x 12gb Maxtor 120gb SATA hd Sony CD-RW DVD ide (reader) Plextor PX-712SA DVD-RW SATA BFG GeForce 6800 GT OC Problem #1 I can't get it to recognoize the Plextor SATA DVD burner. At all. The box is multi boot, and I've burned DVDs with that drive in WinXP, but it doesn't even show up in hwinfo under Suse 9.2 I've checked the Hardware Compatability list from the Suse site, and it was unclear about this drive. Does anyone here have any experience with the Plextor SATA DVD Burner? (the PX-712sa to be specific)? I could really use some pointers on whether or not this drive is even supported. Thank you in advance (I'll approach the second problem in a different thread). -Ric

Those drivers are installed. The kernel just doesn't see the drive. So I cheated. I pulled the Plextor out of this machine, and stuck it in my wifes XP machine. Win XP sees it just fine. Then I pulled the Sony 16x Double layer DVD burner out of hers, and put it in mine. Linux likes the Sony. This closes this saga. It just was not worth the hassle. ;) Besides, the Sony is better anyway. It would have been nice to uncover the mysteries of the Plextor, but not this time. I'm more concerned about the printing problem. Thank you for the assist. I'll be getting back to you with more info on the printer later. -Ric Cristian Rodriguez wrote:
