Hi,

I am just about to replace SCSI CD-ROM/CD-RW drives with IDE ones. Can anybody think of any problems that I might occur, or is this a straight-forward process where SuSe 8.1 will detect the new drives on first start-up and integrate

Excuse my ignorance, but can please explain to me why I need to add these statements, and what their effect on my current system is. Btw, I've forgotten to mention that so far I've got SCSI disks only ... are there any reverse effects on these by turning on ide-scsi ? Werner On Fri, 29 Aug 2003 07:28:32 -0400, zentara wrote: them

in a seamless way (or offer me the option to adjust configuration)

You probably will need to: put "alias scsi_hostadaptor ide-scsi" in modules.conf

and put "append hdb=ide-sci" in lilo.conf or grub.conf
