I had a problem on this box with a different CD/DVD drive. Google turned up many posts saying there was a problem with linux on this particular drive, so I replaced it with a new one. This log is with the new drive installed. I'll look more into this tonight.
Check cable quality and type. I had computer with drives set on cable select so it asked for special cable. Motherboard connector. Sometimes it is buggy onboard chipset. BIOS can be culprit for some problems too. Besides update, check BIOS setup. There are manufacturers that forget that DOS is not the only alternative operating system, and if it is not windows BIOS will consider OS unable to handle hardware and turn off some functionality. Try kernel parameter "acpi_osi=Linux" to tell BIOS that there is OS capable of handling hardware. Last time I was reading about that topic kernel was hiding its name, so it needed above parameter to tell BIOS the truth. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
