Hey Group; I have been using SuSE for about 8 years and until now I have readily been able to get ide-scsi to work. What is the problem? I suspect it has been made a headache by the resmgn (resource package manager) and parts KDE. I have two proven to be good (and worked recently) IDE CD-RW/DVD drives on the Secondary cable. They do work as hdc and hdd. However, adding the hd#=ide-scsi to /grub/menu.lst doesn't help. I have all of the required modules needed loaded. I did cdrecord --scanbus with the normal erro about can't find /dev/pg* What am I forgetting or has become a problem for other people. This system is 100% DVD stock short of mozilla and open office. -- 73 de Donn Washburn __" http://www.hal-pc.org/~n5xwb " Ham Callsign N5XWB / / __ __ __ __ __ __ __ 307 Savoy St. / /__ / / / \/ / / /_/ / \ \/ / Sugar Land, TX 77478 /_____/ /_/ /_/\__/ /_____/ /_/\_\ LL# 1.281.242.3256 Dump Microsoft Software - Stop virus email Email: n5xwb@hal-pc.org " http://counter.li.org " #279316
