Is it loaded? lsmod as root? # # However, several of the config files I was instructed to edit there do # not exist on SUSE8, at least in the location or form the help page # above-referenced would imply # # The problem begins when I try to get to /etc/rc.d/rc.local. No such # file exists. /etc/rc.d is a shortcut to a different directory. On SuSe this file is /etc/init.d/boot.local. Although the article says "/sbin/insmod/ide-scsi", "/sbin/modprobe/ide-scsi" is better, in my opinion. # # Also, there is no /etc/conf.modules On SuSE this file is modules.conf. I open it as root with kwrite to be able to search if any of the strings to be added are already present. I could not get lilo to boot (on my 40GB drive) because of some quirk that I never quite understood, so I changed to GRUB. Don't do that unless you have several free hours and a hacker's mindset. # # I realize I'm lower on the learning curve than many. So I'll go back to # the SUSE manual and docs and see what I can find. # # If you have any constructive suggestions, I'd sure appreciate it. When I rebooted everything loaded and cdrecord -scanbus showed by ATAPI CD-RW/DVD as a scsi drive on /dev/sr0. I can also access it as /cdrecorder, /dev/cdrecorder and /dev/scd0. Good Luck.
