[expert] Install problems with version 7.1
I had/have a problem with the install of 7.1 I downloaded and burned the 2 disks. I created the cdrom.img bootdisk on a floppy. During boot up if I tried to use my scsi CD-Rom drive with the install CD, the install failed with a warning that the CD rom could not be initialized. Also the scan of the SCSI controllers failed for the parallel port zip drive. When I rebooted and put the install CD in my IDE CD-RW the install worked fine. Rather than upgrade from 7.0 I did a full install (including reformatting my drive). CDrecord (scanbus) shows the two CD drive. XCDRoast finds them (it shows the IDE drive under the scsi devices and the IDE devices. I assume this is due to scsi emulation. ) However when I click on the icons on the KDE desktop for CDrom or CDrom2, I get KFM errors. I tried ls and got the following: ls -l /dev/cdrom2 lrwxrwxrwx1 root root4 Jun 10 17:28 /dev/cdrom2 -> scd0 ls -l /dev/cdrom lrwxrwxrwx1 root root4 Jun 10 17:28 /dev/cdrom -> scd0 I think the install got confused by the two drives and did some bad linking. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.
