-- Hello there... A rather awkward thing is happening in my system... let's see... I have a PII machine with a Intel LX board, a HD attached to the IDE0 port (/dev/hda), a CD-Rom drive at the IDE1 port as a master drive (/dev/hdc) and a Phillips CDD3610 CD-RW drive as slave at IDE1 (/dev/hdd). I use SuSE 5.2 The problem is the following: when I boot form the install (disk 1) CDRom from SuSE, everything is all right... at boot time the three ATAPI drives are detected. However, if I boot the installed precompiled kernel, or anyone compiled by myself, Linux does not see /dev/hdd... I get the following mess at boot-time (dmesg):
hdd: no response (status=0xd0)
and thereby I cannot access the CDRW not even as a single CD drive. What puzzles me most is why the installation disk recognizes it? Can anyone help me here? Thanks, Arturo Perez. ___ {~._.~} ----------------------------------- ( Y ) Arturo Perez Mulas. | Consejo de Seguridad Nuclear | ()~*~() apm@csn.es | c/ Justo Dorado - 11 | (_)-(_) tfno. 913460165 | 28040 Madrid | ----------------------------------- - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
