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.

Donn, The reason it probably won't work is because it's not needed any longer! CDrecord 2.x and the kernel now recognize the IDE drives as IDE drives. If you are trying to get ide-scsi to work on them, you are probably causing yourself more problems than anything. Try this instead to see your drives: cdrecord dev=ATAPI: -scanbus I think you will have better luck with that and removing any references to ide-scsi. regards Lee -- --- KMail v1.7.2 --- SuSE Linux Pro v9.2 --- Registered Linux User #225206 "Don't let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game!"
