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

This might not be sufficient since hdX=ide-scsi (X = a,b,c,d,... depending where you attached the CD-RW) must be passed on the kernel command line. So you have to add ide-scsi to INITRD_MODULES in rc.config and run mk_initrd again. Then change the kernel command line and reboot.

The ide-scsi module re-maps the CD from /dev/hdX to /dev/srY, but /dev/cdrom still points to the (old) IDE device. You must remove /dev/cdrom and make a new symlink to the correct /dev/srY device, i.e "ln -s /dev/cdrom /dev/sr1" Klaus
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.

Did you install with yast2 or yast1? Yast2 should setup everything in lilo.conf for ide-scsi. It just doesnt know that ide-scsi.o is a module on ppc. I think yast1 doesnt know about ide-scsi. Please check the append= line in /etc/lilo.conf, there should be something like append = "hdc=ide-scsi" hdc is the CD drive, your setup may differ. To find out the exact device name use this command: grep -l cdrom /proc/ide/hd*/media /proc/ide/hdc/media So, hdc would be the drive, and it will become sr0 after a "modprobe ide-scsi". Use "cat /proc/scsi/scsi" to see the recognized scsi devices. Gruss Olaf -- $ man clone BUGS Main feature not yet implemented...
