-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Not sure about your DVD, but I maybe able to suggest you try on thing for your Cd-writer: Xcdroast, its the best thus far IMHO. Run it as root too, not as a user. Hopefully someone can assist with the DVD. Maybe trying hdc=ide-cdrom *may* help...Check with dmesg (run from console) will help too.

Hi all: I am trying to get my DVD and CDRW working. Both are ide type's on the second ide controller/channel. The DVD is master and the CDRW is slave or secondary. Both were detected by Yast2 during install, but it did not install ide-scsi emulation. I have followed the Configuration manual chapter 11 as best as I could (limited knowledge) and even talked to tech support. I have ide-scsi emulation set and working for both, but now the DVD does not read disks, and the CDRW is reading disks as cdrom but not writing disks, even though Koncd see the writer. I am not sure if I needed to set scsi emulation for the DVD? My main function for the DVD is install software cd's, and play music cd's and to retrive data from data cd's. My main needed for the CDRW is to make back up's and create data cd's from the hard drive. I think this is a linkage problem. Can some one please help.

Hi Ralph Don't know if you have resolved your problem. I've been scanning through the 600+ messages (I'm a bit behind) and am not quite sure. Anyway to get to the point, I have a very similar if not identical setup. I am using SuSE 7.1 pro and I found the configuration manual supplied very helpful with this issue. Basically, they outline three steps and you seemed to have cover two and have queried the third. 1. In Lilo configuration add "hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi" 2. In /etc/init.d/boot.local put "/sbin/modprobe ide-scsi" 3. As root do enter "ln -sf /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom ln -sf /dev/scd1 /dev/cdrecorder" It is 3. that sets up your links. It works for me and I hope it will for you too. Good luck Eddie
