I may have deleted this email, so please don't spank me. On a whim I decided to go ahead and check out 8.1 Works fine so far except that I can't mount /media/cdrecorder properly and my DVD drive shows up as a SCSI drive. What's going on? Please keep in mind that I have an IDE DVD drive and IDE scsi drive. In the past the DVD drive showed up as a regular CD for the most part. So this doesn't make any sense to me. If I do a cdrecord-scanbus I get the following... scsibus0: 0,0,0 0) 'MT1316 ' 'BDV212B ' '0.36' Removable CD-ROM 0,1,0 1) 'HP ' 'CD-Writer+ 8200a' '1.0g' Removable CD-ROM 0,2,0 2) * 0,3,0 3) * 0,4,0 4) * 0,5,0 5) * 0,6,0 6) * 0,7,0 7) * scsibus1: 1,0,0 100) 'SanDisk ' 'ImageMate II ' '1.30' Removable Disk 1,1,0 101) * 1,2,0 102) * 1,3,0 103) * 1,4,0 104) * 1,5,0 105) * 1,6,0 106) * 1,7,0 107) * I believe that first device on scsibus0 is my DVD drive. I can't think of what else it could be. Any ideas how to fix this? Preston

Your dvd player would be called /dev/sr0 and your recorder /dev/sr1 according to the above. Make sure the device symlinks listed in /etc/fstab points to those devices and you should be able to work with both drives again. It looks to me like the reason for the DVD drive suddenly becoming ide-scsi is that SuSE has started compiling ide-cd as a module. They didn't do that before. What append line do you have in your boot loader, and do you have any lines for ide-scsi or ide-cd in /etc/modules.conf? Anders

Look in /proc/ide and find out what device your DVD is, example on my system I have a CDRW and a DVD, hdb and hdc respectively. Using grub, in menu.1st hdb=ide-scsi hdc=ide-cd. If you use LILO add that to an append line. -- _ _ __ _____ _____ ___| |_ | '__| / __\ \ /\ / / _ \/ _ \ __| -o) | | _ \__ \\ V V / __/ __/ |_ /\\ |_|(_) |___/ \_/\_/ \___|\___|\__|_\_v rsweet@garagenetworks.net "unix soit qui mal y pense."

This is a minor bug in that ide-cd is missing from the initrd. So ide-scsi module gets loaded first and claims all drives for itself. To remedy this, edit /etc/sysconfig/kernel and add ide-cd *before* ide-scsi in INITRD_MODULES. Now run mkinitrd and lilo, possibly adding a hdX=ide-cd (replace X by the correct letter) to the list of parameters passed to the kernel. After the next reboot your DVD drive shouldn't show up as SCSI drive anymore. Philipp -- Philipp Thomas work: pthomas@suse.de Development SuSE Linux AG private: pth@t-link.de

That is an amazingly simple (and simply brilliant) answer to this problem. I have been changing links for kernels, etc, for the last several kernels, and never thought of this.

Not sure I would call it a minor bug as it caused me to initiate a whole thread about xine not working (see xine in 8.1). I was tearing my hair out over it until I applied your fix, and now everything works including all the cd ripping playin programmes that it also effected. Mike

I did waht you described and hey presto my dvd drive is now recognised as an atapi drive, but the problem I have now is that when I try to use yast2 to upgrade software yast2 still sees the device as /dev/sr0 which is what it was set up as in the install. What do I need to do to make yast2 recognise it as an atapi device please/ Thanks Mike

I have a similar problem, but I fixed the ide-scsi stuff. I cannot get YaST to see my DVD at all. The system will boot off the DVD, I can mount and read DVD's, I can play DVD movies, but YaST will not see the DVD which is on ide1. If I change the source of installation from /dev/cdrom--->/dev/sr0 to /dev/dvd it still tries to read the cdrw which is on ide0. I have entries in fstab: /dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/dvd /media/dvd auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 I have all the appropriate links: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Jun 17 12:01 /dev/cdrecorder -> /dev/sr0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Oct 11 11:03 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/sr0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Oct 15 22:48 /dev/dvd -> /dev/hdc For some reason I cannot get YaST to look at ide1. Here is /proc/ide: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Oct 17 23:01 hda -> ide0/hda lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Oct 17 23:01 hdb -> ide0/hdb lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Oct 17 23:01 hdc -> ide1/hdc Any help with this nagging problem would greatly be appreciated.

Later, after it uncompress the ramdisk (both ide-scsi and ide-cd modules are read from the ramdisk), as I requested ide-scsi for both the recorder and the dvd, I see:

I did notice this, and have to research it: <3>kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k scsi_hostadapter, errno = 2 I assume that is failure due to no scsi card...not positive though... I believe something is screwed up in YaST2....because the piece of hardware is working perfectly. YaST just cannot see /dev/dvd which is now pointing to /dev/sr1

...

You would see something different.

I would set both drives for ide-scsi, then see in the log which sr device gets the connection for which (sr0, sr1...). After that, just set the symlinks as appropiate in /dev. For yast, change de installation source to /dev/sr0 or 1.

Here is my info:

<4>hda: TOSHIBA MK3018GAS, ATA DISK drive <4>hdb: TEAC CD-RW CD-W216E, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive <4>hdc: TOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-C2612, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive <4>ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14 <4>ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15

That looks ok to me.

The only difference is it doesn't show the attaches, in mine it says which is sr0 or 1. But it most be ok, as you say it works.

Everything still works fine with it all set to ide-scsi. I can play dvd movies, I can mount the dvd, but YaST still only reads the cdrw drive. I did notice this, and have to research it:

<3>kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k scsi_hostadapter, errno = 2

I get that message, or a similar one, during boot up: <3>request_module[scsi_hostadapter]: Root fs not mounted <3>request_module[scsi_hostadapter]: Root fs not mounted But mine is because it is trying to request a module before the ramdisk has been read. That is a minor kernel bug (it wastes time, not important, I guess).

...

I assume that is failure due to no scsi card...not positive though...

I don't know. I don't have a scsi card either, I'm getting it for a different reason.

...

I believe something is screwed up in YaST2....because the piece of hardware is working perfectly. YaST just cannot see /dev/dvd which is now pointing to /dev/sr1

Let me check in my yast2 (suse 7.3) for a second. [...] It's done in "Software / Change source of installation". There I select "(x) CD installation" ... ugh. It never asks for "dvd" or whatever, only "network" or "hardisk". It must be using the "/dev/cdrom" or the /cdrom link :-? In my case, the "/dev/cdrom" link points to /dev/sr0, the same as the dvd. There is a note on the margin: "CD installation always starts with the first CD; insert CD 1 before proceeding." I'm not sure how to interpret that. Yast must either be scanning both dvds, or using the /dev/cdrom link. I might try that my self, but as it is late, you try your self and report what happens O:-) [...] I tried myself: changed /dev/cdrom to /dev/scd1, but yast found the dvd anyway. Perhaps it is the /cdrom link, not the /dev/cdrom link. You try that one. Then... ideas... Is your dvd the first reader device? No, your TOSHIBA is hdc, hdb is the other one. Change them! I'm just guessing, but I thing that may be the trick. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
