I am isolating the problem; is not with the Toshiba DVD-ROM SD-5002, because I have seen that it could run under linux (search made in google), but with having two cd-rw/dvd-rw attached at the same ide (in the case of my friend, on ide1). The problem is occuring with the last kernels (google search again)
In a Suse related page: (http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/max_scsi_luns.html) it is well described: "Symptom: Your IDE CD-recorder for which a SCSI emulation is running is detected 8 times and occupies /dev/scd0 to /dev/scd7. A typical symptom is the command cdrecord -scanbus displaying the same CD-recorder eight times. Solution: Insert max_scsi_luns=1 as a kernel parameter for your boot loader configuration. If you use LILO as your boot loader, insert this parameter in the append line of LILO's configuration file /etc/lilo.conf. If you use GRUB as your boot loader, insert the parameter in the kernel line of GRUB's menu list /boot/grub/menu.lst. After the changes, LILO must be restarted. For GRUB, changes apply immediately. " I think this afternoon I will be able to test the solution (my friend isn't at home now). I will inform you of the results; but if this can occur with 9.2 it will be a good idea to put some comment about this subject at the Mandrake web page, wouldn't be?
