To All: I thank those who have understood I was asking for help and not trying to engage in a flame war on this issue. As one pointed out, there are others in this group who post on the bottom, there are those who post answers after each topic and then there are the top posters! There is "supposed" to be a "convention" of sorts, but as has been pointed out, not all follow that convention! For the time being, I will top post but I will start keeping track of all those posts, by number not name, that bottom post. As for posting answers after each main point, that is one great idea! :-)

CD/DVD woes with SuSE 9.3
by Paul Ollion 24 Jun '05

24 Jun '05

Hello list I have just bought SuSE 9.3 and upgraded my laptop from SuSE 9.1 The laptop is a mainly intel machine with a Centrino Dothan processor The CD/CVD reader is recognized as QS5 CD-RW/DVD-ROM SBW242C (/dev/hdc) The upgrade was not too bad, my setings and personal files were respected,The ATI vieo appears to be better supported, and it seems faster, but I have no sound and no modem working. Then I noticed that the /var/log/messages file was continually filling with the following error message : "Jun 18 22:09:10 mob Cal.hotplug[15929]: DEVPATH is not set "Jun 18 22:09:11 mob kernel: hdc: packet command error: status=0x51 "{ DriveReady SeekComplete Error } "Jun 18 22:09:11 mob kernel: hdc: packet command error: error=0x54 "{ AbortedCommand LastFailedSense=0x05 } "Jun 18 22:09:11 mob kernel: ide: failed opcode was: unknown The incessant message stops as soon as I remove the DVD and resumes after I have reinserted it. I made a second reinstall from the CD with no more success. I do not know what to make of it, and I'd be grateful if any of you shed some light on this difficulty -- ________________ Paul Ollion Proud Linux user - SuSE - 9.1

DVD won't` eject
by Carl William Spitzer IV 24 Jun '05

24 Jun '05

In suse 9.2 recently updated I now can not open the DVDRW drive either manually or with eject. I removed the device from yast rebooted and reinstalled still the light remains on as though there were a disk inside. Also though yast found the device which is on hdc the software apparently sees it as hdd? I also get some flaky error on boot about not having a 80 pin cable on the second ide. I installed 9.2 using this drive now it does not work. I will check the physical connections but I am puzzled. I have the 100mb output of hardware info. What should I look for? -- ___ _ _ _ ____ _ _ _ | | | | [__ | | | |___ |_|_| ___] | \/

I've done this a couple of times and has worked without a hitch: Install from YaST: (accepting all dependencies) - kernel-source - kernel-syms - gcc As root, open a terminal window and run: vmware-config.pl It will fail at the same point you stated, at which point you need to note what kernel source directory is prompted by the script. Open another terminal window and run: cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.xxxxx/ where xxxx is the directory vmware-config.pl prompted you with earlier. Now run: make oldconfig && make ** This will take a while, so be paitent Now run the vmware-config.pl script again, accepting all defaults (or changing as required). run vmware from your desktop!" Good luck! SteveC

As a matter of fact, you can access it from the menu configuration of the kernel, first entry of the submenu "General", I think. I use "make menuconfig", the "xmenu" or however the X mode menu is named was kind of broken or missing options, I read time ago. - -- Saludos Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFCu+qmtTMYHG2NR9URArJ7AKCDCfC9gLZMu9ZHZi6XP+X4NSk3kwCeLCwn MnyR8vOeHPBK7c15TOPe6RM= =XlYS -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
