These are my recent steps I have taken lately.
1. according to some links I recompiled my kernel with the ide-cd module and ide-scsi as separate modules and did a
modprobe ide-scsi
modprobe sr_mod Here is a segment of my dmesg ... Probing IDE interface ide0... hda: IC35L120AVV207-0, ATA DISK drive hdb: QUANTUM FIREBALLP LM30, ATA DISK drive hda: Enabling Ultra DMA 4 hdb: Enabling Ultra DMA 4 Probing IDE interface ide1... hdc: MATSHITAPD-2 LF-D110, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive hdd: IOMEGA ZIP 100 ATAPI, ATAPI FLOPPY drive hdc: Enabling MultiWord DMA 2 Probing IDE interface ide2... ide0 at 0xf256f000-0xf256f007,0xf256f160 on irq 19 ide1 at 0xf2573000-0xf2573007,0xf2573160 on irq 20 hda: attached ide-disk driver. hda: max request size: 1024KiB hda: host protected area => 1 hda: 241254720 sectors (123522 MB) w/1821KiB Cache, CHS=15017/255/63, UDMA(66) hdb: attached ide-disk driver. hdb: host protected area => 1 hdb: 58633344 sectors (30020 MB) w/1900KiB Cache, CHS=58168/16/63, UDMA(66) hdd: attached ide-floppy driver. hdd: No disk in drive hdd: 98304kB, 96/64/32 CHS, 4096 kBps, 512 sector size, 2941 rpm ... hdc: attached ide-cdrom driver. hdc: ATAPI DVD-ROM DVD-RAM drive, 2048kB Cache, DMA Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.12 ...

When I run gxine I get this output on the terminal $ gxine server: trying to connect to already running instance of gxine (/admin/root/linux/.gxine/socket)... connect: Connection refused server: socket '/admin/root/linux/.gxine/socket' created libgnomevfs.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. lirc: lirc_init failed.

While running gxine I tail -f /var/log/syslog-logs/syslog and get this response loged when gxine quits.... Jul 6 20:30:48 localhost kernel: hdc: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } Jul 6 20:30:48 localhost kernel: hdc: command error: error=0x50 Jul 6 20:30:48 localhost kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 16:00 (hdc), sector 36992 I recompiled the kernel thinking if I included CONFIG_IDEDISK_MULTI_MODE = Y It would take care of the SeekComplete error but it did not and still continues to output the same error. My bane: This has been a bane of my linux experience and very annoying to me because everyone else can get it to work but for some reason I cannot on my system. I have been trying for the last 4 years and I must be loosing my head by now. Can some one help me with this... I have exhausted my knowledge and from the Internet and the mailing lists? Thanks in advanced.... -Adam
