Hola, I am having an issue with scsi emulation. I have a fresh install of RH7.2 (cause my drive with skipjack decided to die the other night :( ). On first boot I noticed both my dvd and cdrw drives were listed on the scsi chain 0,0,0 and 0,1,0 respectively. [spencer at conflict spencer]$ ls -l /dev/cdrom* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Apr 9 23:06 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/scd0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Apr 9 00:58 /dev/cdrom1 -> /dev/scd1 When I try and burn mp3's to cdda with mp3burn I am able to successfully do so. Then I put in a dvd and it is not recognized. If I reboot the box and then put in a dvd the dvd works fine, but I can not burn a cd. In the past I have always only used scsi emulation on the burner. I added this to my modules.conf file [spencer at conflict spencer]$ cat /etc/modules.conf alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc alias eth0 3c59x alias sound-slot-0 emu10k1 post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L\ >/dev/null 2>&1 || : pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S\ >/dev/null 2>&1 || : #####Stolen from the internet options ide-cd ignore=hdb # tell the ide-cd module to ignore h alias block-major-11 sr_mod # load sr_mod upon access of scd0 pre-install sg modprobe ide-scsi # load ide-scsi before sg pre-install sr_mod modprobe ide-scsi # load ide-scsi before sr_mod pre-install ide-scsi modprobe ide-cd # load ide-cd before ide-scsi I was getting some errors in my syslog regarding the block-major-11 sr_mod, that is what prompted me to add these lines (the ones below ##Stolen from internet). I am getting frustrated with these two drives. One try I _can_ burn a cd next try I make a coaster. ( I do drink alot of beer, but I _don't_ need anymore coasters :) ) I will have to make this work consistantely, I have to, I just (finally) got dvd::rip to work on this box. It is very cool. It does want a gob of resources however. And I am suprised it even acts like it is working on this AMD K6II 450. Here is a snip from my syslog with a few errors. <snip> Apr 9 23:37:27 conflict kernel: sr0: CDROM (ioctl) reports ILLEGAL REQUEST.
