Hello to all. I'm sorry if this is the wrong list to post this question to, but I did 4 days ago, and haven't seen anything concerning my problem. I have a Ricoh mp7120a cdrw drive. Since it is a atapi drive, i must use ide-scsi and sg to use it with cdrecord. However there is a strange problem with the audio cd players. After issuing a command to stop an audio cd from playing, two play commands are required to start the cd playing again. This doesn't happen if I use the ide-cd driver, and point /dev/cdrom to /dev/hdc. There is no documentation at all on ide-scsi, and I can't find any error messages anywhere. I have the following append command in lilo.conf append="hdc=ide-scsi" If someone is working on this, or has any idea as to what's happening, I would sure appreciate it. I am using kernel version 2.2.19. this also occurred with 2.2.18. the audio cd players return no error messages at all. when the first play command is issued after a stop command, I just get the shell prompt back with nothing happening to the cd-rw drive at all, until I ether open and close the drive, or issue a second play command. If I open and close the drive between stop and play commands, it plays the cd every time. Thanks. -- Rick Hayner [EMAIL PROTECTED] Member spebsqsa, Baritone Kalamazoo Mall City Chorus.
