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. This system is 100% DVD stock short of mozilla and open office. -- 73 de Donn Washburn __" http://www.hal-pc.org/~n5xwb " Ham Callsign N5XWB / / __ __ __ __ __ __ __ 307 Savoy St. / /__ / / / \/ / / /_/ / \ \/ / Sugar Land, TX 77478 /_____/ /_/ /_/\__/ /_____/ /_/\_\ LL# 1.281.242.3256 Dump Microsoft Software - Stop virus email Email: n5xwb@hal-pc.org " http://counter.li.org " #279316

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!"
Yes, indeed! I had it even running on my 9.2 System, but it caused some trouble I even don't remember anymore. So I disabled it again. AND as Lee wrote burning works fine (maybe even better?) without it. Yours Martin BandiPat wrote:

Well Lee and BandiPat hit it correctly.
Thing is to remove any wording about ide-scsi or hd*=scsi from the
grub menu.lst and or lilo append lines. Reboot and then try your
suggestions
It worked! Tonight DVD.
However, the first time I loaded SuSE9.2 on this same machine I
believe I needed ide-scsi to get them to work. This time no ide-scsi.
Thanks to all that saved me hours of grief.
