You won't get these error msgs unless you post to the list (it doesn't matter whether you copy gsteward@... or not; his ISP is misconfigured and is sending errors to the From: address - the poster to the list - instead of to the list's envelope address - the long funny-looking address in From header line (notice the lack of the colon after this last 'From')) It probably does absolutely no good to complain about these misconfigs here on the list itself, as I bet the list maintainer doesn't read the list traffic, especially on a high-volume list like this. Instead, send the offending msg to the list maintainer at: suse-linux-e-owner(a)suse.com and eventually he'll see it and can remove the offending subscriber. Be sure to include the full headers from the error msg, so the maintainer can figure out who the culprit is. Normally the list server would automatically remove an unreachable subscriber after enough error msgs, but when the target ISP is misconfigured like this, the server doesn't get the errors, we posters do. That's why it's important to let the list maintainer know about these things. Please DON'T write to the maintainer about gsteward@, as I've already done that. But if anyone gets this kind of error msg in the future from another address, don't complain to the list, alert the list maintainer.

[SLE] Configuring SuSE for CD-ROM and CD writer
by sfbarbee＠yahoo.com 06 Jan '00

06 Jan '00

Folks, I run SuSE 6.3 with a generic brand cd-rom drive and an HP CD Writer Plus 7500. Both are ATAPI drives connected to my secondary IDE controller. The cd-rom is set as the first device, the cd-writer as the sedondary. I have yet to be able to configure Linux to recognize the CD writer. I can successfully mount and access my first cd-rom but get errors trying to mount the writer. I have lilo, modules.conf and fstab set with the following parameters.: lilo.conf: append="hdd=ide-scsi" modules.conf alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi alias scd0 sr_mod fstab: /dev/hdc /cdrom iso9660 ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/hdd /cd-rw iso9660 rw,noauto,user,exec 0 0 The generic cd-rom mounts on bootup, but this is the error I get the following errors for the cd-writer; kernel: scsi0 : SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices kernel: scsi : 1 host. kernel: Vendor: HP Model: CD-Writer+ 7500 Rev: 1.0a kernel: Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 kernel: Detected scsi CD-ROM sr0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 kernel: scsi0 : channel 0 target 0 lun 1 request sense failed, performing reset. kernel: SCSI bus is being reset for host 0 channel 0. kernel: sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 24x/24x writer cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray kernel: ide-scsi: hdd: unsupported command in request queue (0) kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 16:40 (hdd), sector 0 Afterwards I attempt to mount the drive manually and get errors. Can anyone give assistance as to why this may be happening and how to fix it? Thanks, Stuart __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo!

[SLE] SCSI Kernel Images
by roth＠bsag.ch 06 Jan '00

06 Jan '00

Hello, on a 5.3 CD there are SCSI kernel images in suse/images. I can't find them in the 6.3 release on the Ftp-server. They aren't either on a FreeX Suse 6.3 demo CD. I have built the kernel by hand. But in case I'm in a hurry I'de appreciate the SCSI images. Won't they be include in future releases? Is it intended to build the kernel by hand on a `profi'-box?

[SLE] Floppy craziness

Hi, Once I reported this problem, thought it was gone, but it's back and I don't have a clue how to solve it. Here's the story: 1) Mount a dos formatted floppy, containing files 001.x 001.y 001.z 2) Unmount the floppy 3) Mount a dos formatted floppy, containing files 002.x, 002.y 002.z 4) Using ls or KDE's file manager I SEE files 001* -- that's the files that where in floppy 1. 5) More, I can't access them, I can't access the 002*, which are the ones physically in floppy 2. 6) If instead of 3), I mount an ext2 floppy I can see and operate the files that are contained in it. 7) Umount ext2 floppy and mount dos floppy #2, shows files of floppy #1, so I back to ground zero Here's additional info -- kernel messages and my fstab: ================================================================ Jan 6 09:49:37 friedman kernel: set_blocksize: b_count 12, dev fd(2,0), block 19!

An additional note, my CD-ROM(IDE Atapi) is going nuts (mechanically, sometimes doesn't start spinning, even on W98), could this be related, i.e., "confusing" the kernel/other devices?
