You thought right. The "/dev/sdx" was just a typo on my side.

Yes. cdrom and sr_mod are both loaded as modules. I'm assuming having compiled 
them as modules doesn't change anything. I'm probably going to try messing 
with the SCSI cdrom driver, just to see if I can figure out what's going on.

SATA/ATAPI

2005-04-21 Thread Tais M. Hansen
Hi,

I know there has been some talking about SATA/ATAPI being experimental and 
might not work at all under kernel-2.6.x.

One of my linux boxes has a Plextor DVD-RW drive with a SATA interface. The 
kernel sees this drive (ata3) but apparently doesn't tie it to a sdx device. 
The box also have a SATA harddisk, which is working just fine. The relevant 
dmesg output is pasted below.

Is there anything I can do to help the development of SATA/ATAPI devices?
