Skippy, This is from my son's box that uses SuSE 7.3 Pro, KDE 2.2.1 Kernel 2.4.10-4GB. I DO NOT use hdx=ide-scsi. I have a dvd and a cdrom on the box. However, both are eide/atapi:
>From /etc/fstab: /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/dvd /media/dvd auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 from /dev /dev/hdb->/dev/cdrom /dev/hdd->/dev/dvd I have no ide-scsi lines in my lilo.conf. Both work flawlessly. As you may recall, you sent me some good advice on xine when I set this up. I can see movies use either as a cdrom and have no srx, scdx, or scsi-emulation setup. I dunno if this helps you, but it works well under my suse 7.3 setup. Good luck! Best regards, Keith B.
