[SuSE Linux] Getting CD ROM to work
I have an ATAPI EIDE CD-ROM which works fine as /dev/hdd. Someone gave me a hard drive and now I'm trying to get the CD to work on the IDE port of my AWE32 card. I read the HOWTOs, etc and I think I've done everything. The IDE controller shows up in /proc as ide3, the IRQ shows up as IRQ10-same as the Creative manual calls for. I also checked the Windows setup and that's how it's working there (yes it works in Windows after I moved it to the SB card's IDE port). I have set up isapnp and put a hdg=cdrom in lilo.conf. When the system boots it tries to talk to the drive but gives up after 2 0FF errors. Without the hdg=cdrom it ignores it completely. I have tried booting Windows first and I have the DOS mscdex stuff in autoexec. The drive is jumpered as master. I give up. What incredibly dumb thing have I done this time? -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archive at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
