Hello I would like to return my ide drives (dvd and dvdram drives) back to atapi. The first thing that I did was to remove devfs=mount hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi from lilo.conf. After booting, Mandrake 10.0 cannot assign any device to the drives.
Then I did: a) I've checked Mandrake control center for dvd drivers. What follows is what MCC shows: Model: âDVD-ROM ATAPIModel DVD-106S 012 Vendor: âPioneer Bus: âide Channel: âsecondary New devfs device: â/dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd Old device file: â/dev/hdc Media class: âcdrom us: âide Channel: âsecondary New devfs device: â/dev/ide/host0/bus1/target1/lun0/cd Old device file: â/dev/hdd Media class: âcdrom Of course the drivers donÂt work. So I did (I have to mkdir bus1/target ....) cd /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/ mknod -m 660 cd b 22 0 cd /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target1/lun0/ mknod -m 660 cd b 22 64 cd /dev ln -s /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd hdc ln -s /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target1/lun0/cd hdd ln -s hdc cdrom ln -s hdd cdrom1 It didnÂt work either dmesg shows me ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14 hdc: Pioneer DVD-ROM ATAPIModel DVD-106S 012, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive hdd: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4120B, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive and ide-cd: Unknown parameter `hdd'' ide-cd: Unknown parameter `hdd'' ide-cd: Unknown parameter `hdd'' ide-cd: Unknown parameter `hdd'' ide-cd: Unknown parameter `hdd'' ide-cd: Unknown parameter `hdd'' ide-cd: Unknown parameter `hdd'' ide-cd: Unknown parameter `hdd'' when I try eject any of the above devides, the system returns: eject /dev/cdrom eject: unable to open `/dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd' As for /dev/sr1 and /dev/sr0, this is message ject /dev/sr0 eject: unable to find or open device for: `/dev/sr0' What did I do wrong?
