Hi,
 
My cdrom drives have stopped working as they did after initial install.  I was trying to get both of them working with XCDROAST.  Initial install set them up as:
 
NEC DV5800A: CDROM /dev/hdc with ide interface
TDK CDRW321040X: CDROM1 /dev/hdd with scsi emulation
 
XCDROAST recognized my CDRW (CDROM1), but it did not recognize my DVD-CDROM, although the system and KDE did.
 
I used some code provided by a list member to enable scsi emulation for that drive and put it into modules.conf:
 
options ide-cd ignore=hdc
alias scd0 sr_mod
pre-install sg modprobe ide-scsi
pre-install sr_mod modprobe ide-scsi
pre-install ide-scsi modprobe ide-cd
 
After reboot neither device is recognized as a valid block device and neither will work.  I used KDE hardware browser and it reports that the driver being used for each is:
 
Driver: ignore
 
My fstab file:

LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1

LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2

none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0

none /proc proc defaults 0 0

none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0

/dev/sda5 swap swap defaults 0 0

/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0

/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0

/dev/sdb1 /mnt/W2k vfat exec,dev,suid,rw 1 1

/dev/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1 iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0

Any help getting both of these drives to work with XCDROAST will be greatly appreciated.
 
TIA,
Bill
