I have installed SuSE 6.3 andhave been unable to get it to see my HP-8100i IDE CD-RW drive. I have verified that the sg and ide-scsi modules are installed. In addition, the option hdd=ide-ignore is included in LILO, and alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi is included in /etc/conf.modules. I have all of the /dev/sg* and /dev/scd* device files in the /dev directory. Here is the output of cdrecord -scanbus: bash-2.03# cdrecord -scanbus Cdrecord release 1.8a30 Copyright (C) 1995-1999 J And here is the output of lsmod: bash-2.03# lsmod Module Size Used by ppp_deflate 40108 1 (autoclean) bsd_comp 3764 0 (autoclean) ppp 20684 2 (autoclean) [ppp_deflate bsd_comp] slhc 4504 1 (autoclean) [ppp] sd_mod 16688 0 (autoclean) (unused) sg 11764 0 (autoclean) (unused) ide-cd 23848 0 (autoclean) ide-scsi 7240 0 (autoclean) sr_mod 16652 0 (autoclean) (unused) es1371 25888 0 (autoclean) soundcore 2340 4 (autoclean) [es1371] ne 6620 1 (autoclean) 8390 6228 0 (autoclean) [ne] serial 42932 2 (autoclean) memstat 1604 0 (unused) My printer (HP-710C) also does not respond, even though I am using the ppa720 filter. But I am trying to solve one thing at a time. If anyone on the list has succeded in getting ATAPI IDE CD-RW drives and/or the HP710C printer to work under SuSE 6.3 I would appreciate it if you let me know what I need to to. SuSE support just points me at the on-line docs which I have already seen.
