Hi ! All right Mister *I-know-all* Paul Uiterlinden... I read some Linux books. You better learn common courtesy, or stay offline boy ;-} Thanks Tor Sigurdsson and Ewan Leith for your help. Well, i'm a newbie with SuSE (I was a Mandrake user). I bought my first CD-R/RW drive some days ago: I'm still trying to make it work -- hello "SCSI emulation" ! I mean it's not that simple to install this kind of stuff on a Linux box ... Three clicks under Windoze XP with Nero (instant drag'n'drop). And yes, I RTFM !! -- ***What Else ?!
Just got a new system that uses the Nvidia nforce MCP for ethernet. Try as I might, I cannot get Suse 8.0 online. It seems to see the card but nothing I do will get it to work. I think there's a driver problem since I set up the networking for my cable modem exactly the same as on my old machine. But nothing works. Any ideas if this is a driver problem? Jim
nvidia provides nforce drivers for linux. http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?IO=linux_nforce_1.0-0236 unfortunately they dont provide suse rpms for it, so be careful doing the source code compiles. Ewan On Mon, 2002-05-20 at 14:33, Jim Lynch wrote:

Oh, come on, don't be so sensitive. I obviously have touched a sensitive nerve here.

Ouch, I'm hurt.

Not solliciting to be scoarched as a "I-know-it-all" person for a second time, I'll tell you annyway what made it work for me: 1) Add the folllowing line to /etc/lilo.conf: append = "hda=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi" This can be done in the global section (at the beginning of the file), or in an image section. If you already had an "append" line, just add the new options to the existing one. Note that hda is my ATAPI CDROM and hdd is my ATAPI CDRW. It seems that xcdroast cannot handle a combination of SCSI-emuation and non-SCSI-emulation. 2) Add the following to /etc/modules.conf options ide-cd ignore='hda hdd' alias scd0 sr_mod alias scd1 sr_mod add below sg ide-scsi add below sr_mod ide-scsi 3) Set up the symlinks in /dev. Oh no, not again! ;-) You're right that setting up this SCSI-emulation stuff is quite a hassle.

You know what they say: "Linux doesn't cost you much if your time has no value". In essence I think that's true. But on the other hand: if it doesn't work within ten minutes in Windows, you're really stuck. If it doesn't work within ten minutes in Linux, you just have to search some more. And yes, there is a danger: you might learn something...
And yes, I RTFM !!
Ah, that's the spirit! Paul.
