Hi,
I connected an external Sony CD/RW via pcmcia to my laptop. The
kernel card service recognizes it as
kernel: Linux Kernel Card Services Kernel Version
kernel: options: [pci] [cardbus] [pm]
kernel: PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 00:03.0
kernel: PCI: Sharing IRQ 11 with 00:01.4
kernel: Yenta IRQ list 00b8, PCI irq11
kernel: Socket status: 30000411
kernel: cs: IO port probe 0x0c00-0x0cff: clean.
kernel: cs: IO port probe 0x0100-0x04ff:
excluding 0x378-0x37f
0x480-0x48f 0x4d0-0x4d7
kernel: cs: IO port probe 0x0a00-0x0aff: clean.
kernel: cs: memory probe 0xa0000000-0xa0ffffff: clean.
kernel: hde: SONY CD-RW CRX700E, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
kernel: ide2 at 0x180-0x187,0x386 on irq 3
kernel: ide_cs: hde: Vcc = 5.0, Vpp = 0.0
If I have it connected and switched on at boot time I get this error
message:
kernel: hde: driver not present
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module ide-cd
kernel: hde: driver not present
This message is repeated several times.
I cannot mount the drive because it doesn't exist.
But if I plug it in during runtime I get
kernel: hde: SONY CD-RW CRX700E, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
kernel: ide2 at 0x180-0x187,0x386 on irq 5
kernel: hde: ATAPI 24X CD-ROM CD-R/RW drive, 8192kB Cache
kernel: ide_cs: hde: Vcc = 5.0, Vpp = 0.0
Now I can mount the drive with 'mount /dev/hde /mnt/disk' and I can
read and copy files.
The real problem is, I want to use it with any burning app, so I have
to put 'hde=ide-scsi' into lilo.conf. I did that but cdrecord doesn't
find the drive.
