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!
