By the way, don't send as html and text: you are lucky the mail list server removed the html part, or you'd be roasted alive! :-p (I got the html in the email you sent me directly) The 03.01.04 at 11:37, Jan Elders wrote:
So... we have both to change to scd, not sr, and certainly not sdc
Well, I tried scd during my struggles to get things working, but that was not leading to anything ! Only sr does.
Mmm, I don't know yet. I have changed my links to scd, and apparently, it works. The important thing is this: cer@nimrodel:~> l /dev/scd1 /dev/sr1 brw------- 1 cer disk 11, 1 2002-09-09 22:24 /dev/scd1 brw------- 1 cer disk 11, 1 2002-09-09 22:24 /dev/sr1 Notice the 11, 1 (major, minor)? That means that even with different names, the driver is the same one.
As far as I can judge we have no choice because SuSE's kernel seems to link hdc to sr0; see excerpt from boot log below : <6>scsi0 : SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices <4> Vendor: LITE-ON Model: LTR-24102B Rev: 5S0D <4> Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 <4>Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 <4>sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 239x/40x writer cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray <6>Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.12 I don't think it is possible to influence this linking. Right ?
Don't worry for now, if it works for you use whichever one you like :-) Only keep it in mind somewhere, that it may change in some near future.
I believe there is an email for documentation typos :-?
Yes, I would expect so too, but I haven't been able to find it. :-(
I found it once, but don't remember where. [...] I found it: +++ CUT Errata in the SuSE Linux 8.1 Documentation Support knowledgebase (errata-81-d) Applies to SuSE Linux: Version 8.1 This WWW page provides a list of the bugs and printing errors found in the SuSE Linux 8.1 documentation. If you find further errors in the manuals, please contact our documentation team via an e-mail to documentation@suse.de. ++- CUT I don't know if this applies to erratas in the sdb, but it could be. Maybe someone from suse is reading this and can enlighten us? If they are not on holidays :-) -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
