begging.. .(Excluded IRQ3, using IRQ9 now, but still not OK)
Hello, While waiting for my post to show up, I digged a little deeper, and found that irq3 was not being excluded by PCMCIA. I excluded IRQ3 and IRQ5 (which it picked up sometimes, but states it is wrong) and it now uses IRQ9 like it does when running windows 95. The dmesg output is included below, and looks better, but I can still not access the /dev/sr0 device, it says the special device does not exist when I try mount /dev/sr0 /mnt. And, according to /var/run/stab, both sockets are empty. Am I missing something simple? Am I close?

On my slink system, /dev/sr0 is simply a link to /dev/scd0 Do /dev/sr0 and /dev/scd0 exist on your system? If not, create the scdX devices with MAKEDEV, link sr0 to scd0 and try again. I recall I had to manually create sr0, and I'm not sure about whether I had to create the scdX devices. HTH, Wouter.

(dmesg output) Can you post the xconsole output, e.g. wait with the insertion of the card until the system has booted (so that the natural traffic of messages while booting won't burry the interesting ones :-) and then insert the card and look at the xconsole output...

ISA irqs (default) = 3,4,5,7,9,10,11,12 status change on irq 11 ISA irq's? Try forcing your BIOS to use irq 9 for PCI only.

Ressetting means it's cleaning the SCSI-bus aka your device is not responding. About making /dev/sr0. All devices has a major and a minor mode. These should be listed somewhere in the documentation. You can make the major and minor modes with 'mknod'. Try 'man mknod' for further information. Good luck Sven Esbjerg
