I was trying anything to see why my dvd writer was not
being detected. It was working fine on my previouse mother
board on ide1 master. With my new mother board with sata
support it was not getting detected. Its just strange to
get it working i had to make my dvd write slave. The
problem came in with the sata. When i disable sata my dvd
writer will work again on ide1 master. Is there a bug in
suse 9.1 or did i do something wrong? I would just like to
know why did i have to make my dvd writer slave. Is there a
fix for it? The logs did not show anything.
Thanks
Regards

[06-18-05 11:24]: Why do i have to move my hardware around for it to work in suse and in windows it worked fine with out moving it around? Windows is just a test to see if things are working or not.
again: top posting forgiven, full quote removed.
Windoz is *not* a test to show proper operation of hardware.
Why *did* you "move" your hardware around, it was *your* decision? There must be a basis for moving it. I did not see anyone here recommend that action.
What didn't "work"? Why didn't it "work"? Did you check with hwinfo? Was it listed in /etc/fstab?
