Ok, there's probably something you overlooked, if you're using lilo, and there's no indication of ide-scsi in your lilo.conf file, then you cannot use /dev/sr0 (unless your drive is REALLY SCSI! :) The drive is definately IDE, and I'm 99% sure it's ATAPI
Undoubtably I'm missing something, if only I can figure it out. The wierd thing --- Directly after install of suse 8.1 the links to my optical drives were messed up. I installed from dvd yast would install more progs from dvd when I tried to read a cd on the dvd player it refused to mount it As it turned out SuSE had linked the cdwriter to hdb (which was really the dvd) When I sorted the fstab out properly I can access/mount cd's on the dvd or on the cdwriter, was able to write to the cdwriter but xine, etc would give messages that they can't read the dvd drive. hda is 80gb hard drive hdb is dvd hdc is second 80gb hard drive hdd is cdrewriter. I cannot turn DMA on for any drives although the option is present in yast for the 2 hard drives xine-check recommends I turn DMA on for the dvd, see above. When I created the link /dev/sr0 to /dev/dvd xine is willing to play a movie, the sound seems to be at the right speed but the image changes so slowly that I can't even watch to the credits.
I would switch DVD drive into plain ATAPI mode, since it makes sense to emulate scsi only for cd-burning, as far as I know...
I'd like to try this but I'm not sure where to make the change. Can you give me a bit more info? Thanks alot dh
