Well, I have identified the problem mentioned some days ago with this dvd-writer of a friend of mine. if I enable the ide-scsi for this in lilo (hdd=ide-scsi) this driver and hdc appear 7 times looking dmesg:
hdc: attached ide-scsi driver. hdd: attached ide-scsi driver. scsi0 : SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices Vendor: TOSHIBA Model: DVD-ROM SD-M1612 Rev: 1004 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Vendor: TOSHIBA Model: DVD-ROM SD-M1612 Rev: 1004 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Vendor: TOSHIBA Model: DVD-ROM SD-M1612 Rev: 1004 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Vendor: TOSHIBA Model: DVD-ROM SD-M1612 Rev: 1004 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Vendor: TOSHIBA Model: DVD-ROM SD-M1612 Rev: 1004 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Vendor: TOSHIBA Model: DVD-ROM SD-M1612 Rev: 1004 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Vendor: TOSHIBA Model: DVD-ROM SD-M1612 Rev: 1004 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Vendor: TOSHIBA Model: DVD-ROM SD-R5002 Rev: 1031 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Vendor: TOSHIBA Model: DVD-ROM SD-R5002 Rev: 1031 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Vendor: TOSHIBA Model: DVD-ROM SD-R5002 Rev: 1031 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Vendor: TOSHIBA Model: DVD-ROM SD-R5002 Rev: 1031 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Vendor: TOSHIBA Model: DVD-ROM SD-R5002 Rev: 1031 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Vendor: TOSHIBA Model: DVD-ROM SD-R5002 Rev: 1031 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Vendor: TOSHIBA Model: DVD-ROM SD-R5002 Rev: 1031 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 I have read that this happened also with Suse 8.0 to a german person at the dvd+rwtools mailing-list. If I dissable the scsi emulation for the drive (hdd), hdc and hdd are well installed, but of course I can't use the dvd-rw to burn any dvd. I am looking for the german person to know if he solved the problem, perhaps a ide-scsi module bug??. Any ideas will be welcome; yours sincerely Note: I am using 9.2 rc2 but updated from cooker (even the kernel). Francisco Alcaraz Murcia (Spain)
