Subject: Is anyone working on a CDRW driver?
Date: Sat, 02 Sep 2000 23:18:38 GMT
Hi. I have an HP computer with a CDRW drive. It works ok as a native
CDrom drive in RH6.1. I wanted it to work as a CD writer/rewriter as
well. Silly me. I read the CDwriter Howto about a million times. I
did everything it suggesged. It didn't work. I recompiled the
kernel. It didn't work. I read more faq's and howto's. It didn't
work. I made sure the native cd support was removed. It didn't work.
I re-compiled the kernel (again) looking through any of the faqs and
howto's for anything that I missed. I have gone over every piece of
documentation about a dozen times, much of it redundant. Once again I
recompiled the kernel. Checked the /etc/lilo.conf file after I modified
it, /etc/fstab, ran a script to change my /dev directory. It doesn't
work. (But joy oh joy, my cdrom won't work in any mode now!). I've put
more than 60 hours into this #!*!!$#% thing. All I wanted is a cd
writer/rewriter that works. Is my best choice to buy windows and
install it? Or is there someone actually working on a native cdwriter
driver? I don't want any help on a scsi solution because I already know
that it won't work (been there, done that, over and over and over).
If anyone is working on a driver for a CR-4804TE, ATAPI CDROM drive
please mail me. I would be happy to be a test site.

Subject: A7V + Plextor 8/4/32 ?
Date: Sat, 02 Sep 2000 21:13:56 -0400
Hi everyone,
Is there anyone using an ASUS A7V motherboard with a Plextor 8/4/32
(ATAPI) rewriteable drive? I've got this drive working just fine in
Windows 2000, but when I try to mount CDs in Linux it stalls and reports
I/O errors.
I was originally using a 2.2.16 kernel (as part of Slackware 7.1), but
switching to 2.4.0-test7 didn't help matters. I've also tried locating
the drive in various positions on the IDE chain on both the primary and
secondary channels to no avail. Downgrading and upgrading the firmware
doesn't do anything.
It's hooked up to the integrated VIA IDE controller; I haven't tried
using it on the Promise Ultra100 controller and doubt that would do much
help. I've also got a DVD and ZIP drive connected to the VIA IDE
controller and they work just fine. The hard drive is attached to the
Promise controller.
Can anyone offer some help? Thanks!

Date: Sat, 02 Sep 2000 07:29:48 -0400
I've have an Amptron 599 LMR with built in video, lan, modem, and
sound.
I'm wondering if this board will work with Corel linux ?
I've read that Corel Linux supports this Mobo and everything is
detected during the install ?
Can someone tell me:
1) How is the 2ed version of Corel Linux ? (I heard the first was a
disaster).
2) Can someone confirm that Corel Linux will support the devices on
this Mobo?
I've installed Mandrake on it and I can tell you the video works fine,
BUT the linmodem drivers (pctel) don't work AND the LAN drivers don't
work either (davicom).
I really don't care about the modem, I would just like to get the lan
and sounds working...
Thanks,
peter

Well, actually, it does work and it works well. Unfortunately, it is
definitely not obvious how to get it working, and the HOWTOs are
rather confusing. I suspect a "native" driver is unlikely.
Virtually all the necessary info to figure out what is happening is in
/var/log/dmesg. For example, since you have already recompiled the
kernel, assuming you have compiled it this way:
In Block Devices
Select N for include IDE/ATAPI CDROM support.
Select Y for SCSI emulation support.
In SCSI support
Select Y for SCSI support
Select Y for SCSI CD-ROM support
Select M for SCSI generic support
Select N for Probe all LUNs on each SCSI device
Then early in the file /var/log/dmesg, there should be a listing that
looks something like this:
hda: IBM-DPTA-372050, ATA DISK drive
hdb: ST310212A, ATA DISK drive
hdc: PLEXTOR CD-R PX-W8432T, ATAPI CDROM drive
Obviously the disks and CDRW. You should definitely see the CDRW listed
at this point. A few lines later, there is this:
hda: IBM-DPTA-372050, 19574MB w/1961kB Cache, CHS=2495/255/63
hdb: ST310212A, 9768MB w/512kB Cache, CHS=1245/255/63
Notice that the CDRW is missing. This is good, because it means that the
ide-cd driver did not grab the drive, which means the ide-scsi driver
can be atteched to it. A little further on is this:
scsi0 : SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices
This means the ide-scsi driver is loaded. Then:
scsi : 1 host.
Vendor: PLEXTOR Model: CD-R PX-W8432T Rev: 1.05
Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02
The ide-scsi driver has detected the CDRW. Finally:
Detected scsi CD-ROM sr0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
scsi : detected 1 SCSI cdrom total.
sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 32x/32x writer cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray
This last tells you what device file the CDRW is using. In this case,
sr0, which corresponds to /dev/scd0 and /dev/sga.

So basically you either need to sit around and wait for them to fix that, or
hack it yourself.

A good first guess would be that the autodetection didn't work. As root, try
running "XF86Setup.

Did you read the this manual carefully? Here are once more the most commo=
n pitfalls.
Click on the "Details" button. kppp will you give an excerpt from the=
PPP log
messages (may not work on non-Linux
systems, or even on some Linux distributions). The log will help you =
to track down
the bug.
Make sure that pppd is the actual pppd binary not a script
Make sure that pppd is setuid root. You may set this mode by issuing =
chmod u+s pppd
as root.
Make sure that your /etc/ppp/options file exists and that it doesn=B4=
t contain any
conflicting entries. If in doubt: Leave
this file empty.
Using the symbolic link /dev/modem may cause some conflicts. Eliminat=
e this source of
trouble by using the real device,
i.e. /dev/cuaX or /dev/ttySX. NOTE: COM1 equals ttyS0, COM2 is ttyS1 =
and so on.
Make sure you set the right permission. In case of trouble you might =
want to run it
as root first and then later, when
everything is working o.k give it less harmful permission if you can =
not afford to
run kppp setuid root. The proper way to
proceed would probably be creating a "modem" group.
You might be launching pppd too early, i.e. before the remote server =
is ready to
negotiate a PPP connection. If you are
using a login script, you should use the built-in terminal to verify =
your login
procedure. Some providers will require you to
issue a simple "Send" or "Send ppp" to launch PPP. Some users even re=
ported, that
they had to append "Pause 1" or
"Pause 2" to their script to solve timing conflicts.
If nothing helps, you might obtain some debugging info from your systems =
log by issuing:
# tail /var/log/messages
The above is from kde help. I had this problem and it was the "/etc/ppp/=
options" file.
I replaced that file with an empty file of the same name and it worked.

I have kernel 2.2.16 now. Did you compile the driver as a module? Did you
add some lines in your /etc/conf.modules file?

I have a USRobotics/3Com 3CP2976 (there is also the 2977 which doesn't have
voice). When I first bought this, you had to tell the Kernel its address,
but now you can use most PCI Modems with the serial driver "serial-5.03".
