Okay, what that gives me is below. It is only seeing the DVD-RW on IDE0. Suggestion for next step? helios:/dev # hwinfo --cdrom 21: IDE 00.0: 10602 CD-ROM (DVD-RAM) [Created at block.194] Unique ID: Fffu.gJIVw+mggn4 Parent ID: 3p2J.O6c5iGu01+9 SysFS ID: /block/hda SysFS BusID: 0.0 SysFS Device Link: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.1/ide0/0.0 Hardware Class: cdrom Model: "HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4040B" Vendor: "HL-DT-ST" Device: "DVDRAM GSA-4040B" Revision: "A301" Serial ID: "K1F3B6H1827" Driver: "PIIX IDE", "ide-cdrom" Device File: /dev/hda Device Number: block 3:0 Features: CD-R, CD-RW, DVD, DVD-R, DVDRAM Size: 0 sectors a 512 bytes Drive status: no medium Config Status: cfg=yes, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown Attached to: #10 (IDE interface) Drive Speed: 32 Johan Nielsen wrote:

Hi All!
I just found a problem with SuSE 9.1 and my installation: I can't use the DVD-ROM on my second IDE channel. The info from the various logs and /proc is included below. I've swapped my DVD-RW on IDE0 with it, and it works fine. So, I doubt that it is the device (it burns find, too!). It shows up in the BIOS. Note the difference for IDE0 under /proc.
If I try to mount /dev/hdc: helios:/ # mount /dev/hdc /media/cdrom/ mount: /dev/hdc is not a valid block device
helios:/ # grep Pioneer /var/log/boot.msg <4>hdc: Pioneer DVD-ROM ATAPIModel DVD-114 0110, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
and proc shows:
helios:/ # cat /proc/ide/ide1/hdc/model Pioneer DVD-ROM ATAPIModel DVD-114 0110
helios:/ # cat /proc/ide/ide1/hdc/driver ide-default version 0.9.newide <--IDE0 reports "ide-cdrom version 4.61"
helios:/ # cat /proc/ide/ide1/hdc/settings name value min max mode ---- ----- --- --- ---- current_speed 0 0 70 rw ide-scsi 0 0 1 rw init_speed 0 0 70 rw io_32bit 0 0 3 rw keepsettings 0 0 1 rw nice1 1 0 1 rw number 2 0 3 rw pio_mode write-only 0 255 w unmaskirq 0 0 1 rw using_dma 0 0 1 rw
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
