[Cooker] /dev/dvd , ide-scsi, devfs
the /dev/dvd link is missing /etc/devfs/dvd.conf points to an ide cd device but there's only a generic device at the target dir. Same is true for rdvd.conf and, in my case, hdc.conf. The desired cd device is at scsi as the my ide dvdrom is now scsi. BTW, how do I turn that feature off? Kernel append only has the burner for ide-scsi. ah, and the nvidia line in modules.devfs is obsolete: NVdriver is now simply nvidia - Mark

Or a DVD burner??? My Mandrake uses my CD-RW subtype burner as SCSI also, but it does work-- for reading, sound CD play, and burning. I just told Mandrake 9.0 to use /dev/scd0 instead of /dev/cdrom for data reads. Kscd thinks it has a SCSI CD-ROM for audio play. Burning will only happen in SCSI mode, was easiest to leave it that way all the time and that way Supermount and devfsd also work. Ditto for cooker, with a takeoff point from beta2. With a combo drive, it is again easiest to run it as SCSI emulation on all the time AFAIK. I think, could be wrong and YMMV, that one or the other would be easiest to standardize on-- and burning software needs SCSI emulation on. My TDK behaves this way, my HP did also, and unfortunately I do not have the funds for Cendyne DV-RW right now (I spent money for more RAM instead). John.

Also you can start with hdc=ide-cd in the append line of lilo; it workes for me and I can now watch dvds using xine.

OTOH, this didn't fix my problem which is that the system slows down to a crawl when reading DVDs. I had this behaviour once when I played with scsi emu on ide readers which is why I suspected the scsi emu. Also, with scsi enabled the kernel reports DMA off for both drives. Without scsi, kernel reports UDMA(33) for the DVD. Suppose I keep scsi emu on the DVD, do I then have to patch the /etc/devfs/*.conf files to point at the right devices? - Mark
