Yes, I have (or had) hdc (CD-RW, now dead) and hdd (an ATAPI DVD which is still recognised as /dev/cdrom1 liked to /dev/hdd). At the moment I am 3 days away from my SuSE 7.0 manual. Can anyone give me a cheap and cheerful quick solution as to how to get /dev/scd0 recognised? BTW, I have used YAST to point /dev/cdrom to /dev/scd0. But trying to mount either /dev/cdrom or /dev/scd0 or /dev/hdc results in a not recognised device error. Or do I need to make hdd ide-scsi simulated too? Any syntax help with the links whilst I am out here in the sticks would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again, Steve. On Tue, 28 Nov 2000, you wrote:

Hi everyone.

After adding the append=ide-scsi line in LILO and loading the ide-scsi module in boot.local I can no longer access my CD-RW as /dev/cdrom nor as /dev/scdx where I have tried all reasonable values of x. I get ' ... not recognised as block device'. The HOWTO has a script which tells me that I am missing the module sr_mod. I have SuSE 7.0 on a new machine and they tell me that with the pentium optimised kernel that this is all I need. What is this sr_mod stuff?

BTW, my DVD drive still works fine on hdd. The CDRW is hdc.

Any ideas anyone?

Do you 1 or 2 CD drives? Did you follow the SuSE manual EXACTLY? Ah....I know about not doing that..."up close and personal like." :)
