hi, with linux you cannot use ide-cdrw. that's why you have to make an modprobe ide-scsi to emulate a scsi drive. to mount your cdrw you have to use /dev/scdx x=0,1.... instead of /dev/hdc (if cd is master on seconde ide) perhaps you have to set some symbolic links. but I think that this can be found on the suse homepage. hope that helps, paul on 31.01.2002 11:12 Uhr, john flanders at flanders@macnews.de wrote: Hi, I¹ve installed SuSE 7.3 on my G4/450. I¹ve changed the original CD with an ³Apple² CD-RW ( Matshita CW 7586). When i installed SuSE i¹ve got an problem to find CD2. I¹ve used /sbin/modprobe ide-scsi like SuSE said and edited the boot.local in the same way. The installation was fine, but now no CD will be shown. With cdrecord scanbus the device was found as a SCSI-device (it is IDE). What is wrong an how can i get my cd running ?? Thx a lot ! Flanders
