There's the problem. hdparm only likes IDE devices, and /dev/cdrom is pointing to a SCSI device. > $dmesg | grep hd > Kernel command line: ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi > ide_setup: hdc=ide-scsi > ide0: BM-DMA at 0xf000-0xf007, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:pio > ide1: BM-DMA at 0xf008-0xf00f, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:pio > hda: WDC WD800JB-00CRA1, ATA DISK drive > hdc: SAMSUNG CDRW/DVD SM-332B, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive > hda: 156301488 sectors (80026 MB) w/8192KiB Cache, CHS=9729/255/63, > UDMA(100) > hda: hda1 hda2 hda3 hda4 < hda5 > hdparm -d1 /dev/hdc should work. At least it won't give you an error. Not actually positive if it will do anything (haven't tested here, but I've got a similar setup and it doesn't give the error it does on /dev/cdrom) _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
