Just a quick update regarding burning cds on SuSE. I followed Chris Reeves advise and did the following I use loadlin from a dos partition so first passed the ide-scssi parameters to the kernal ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [config.sys on windows98] [menu] menuitem=Win98, Boot to Windows 98... menuitem=Linux, Boot to SuSE Linux 7.1 ... menucolor=15,1 (This gives a blue background with white text) menudefault=Linux, 90 [linux] shell=c:\boot\loadlin.exe c:\boot\Vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 ro hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ then added to [/etc/init.d/boot.local] /sbin/modprobe ide-scsi #this is rite out of the suse manual configuration pg 160 #as the the below linking procedure ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ then simply created links to *both* ide drives ln -sf /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom ln -sf /dev/scd1 /dev/cdrom1 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ rebooted and Wallah! Im using x-cd-roast!! I can burn data cds at about 200M=10min music cds are a bit disappointing, seems to take forever to burn a audio cd. This is partly to do with the inability to copy "on the fly" meaning the data has to be written to the hard drive first I can live with that as I mostly make data cds . Overall Im impressed, although I have to admit from the beginnig I though having to *trick* Linux into thinking my ide cdroms were scsi. Its definetly a mandatory to perform this "emulation" Thanks to Chris and all others who help me get this going pretty cool! rob rob wrote:

This is the first time Im really trying to implement my cd burner 7.1 pro kernel 2.2.18
SuSE reconises my plain ATAPI cd as hdc and when the machime boot Dmesg seems to see both CDroms
hdd =plain atapi hdc = acer8xcdr
Confused here - is your plain ATAPI CD hdc or hdd?
sheese.... i cant EVEN paste text into netscape!!! Please find the attached boot message which shows my cd drives
So I go into yast>integrate hardware> select cd/dvd
then select the approaite hdc and hdd
This seems to have *no* effect whatsoever!
Im trying to access the burner software KDBurn or something and it dosent see the burner. Ive installed cdroast but it dosnt show up in the menu items (wondering why that is....)
You need to use the ide-scsi module, because the CD drive needs to be accessed as a SCSI device in order for cdrecord/xcdroast/etc. to see it (it probably uses the SCSI command set internally anyway). To do this, at the LILO prompt, type 'linux hdc=ide-scsi' (assuming that the burner is /dev/hdc).
Well I dont use LILO, I have a multiboot using loadlin from a windows/dos aattoexec
If you look at the boot msg youll see they arent scssi. The problem is when I go into yast and select the *approaite* "module" .... nothing happens!! even if I do select scssi... nothing happens,,, no confirmation... the window just goes away hence the problem
Now you can do a 'cdrecord -scanbus' and see if the burner shows up. If it does, you can set up some things like an fstab entry, and placing the the 'hdc=ide-scsi' as an append line in lilo.conf, and so on.
Have fun, Chris
Well... I certainally appreciate your help but I cant even get text to paste into this netscape window (using kedit to open the file select copy... paste isnt enabled in Netscape nor is ctrl v...most dishertning and confidence destroying... not to mention time wasting
baaaa
