Rescanned the scsi bus with the script to no avail. It still did not find the drive. I went through the kernel and found that firewire was disabled (along with a lot of other items I think I need...). I reconfigured the Kernel and re-compiled. I have run into trouble when it comes time to use 'make modules'. I came up with an error when it tried to compile the floppy driver. Since I have a PowerBook Titanium with no floppy, I just disabled the floppy and re-compiled. I thought I had it licked this time, but I was soon punished for my arrogance. This time the error is coming up (still during the compilation of modules...) with a driver for 'cipe.o'. I looked it up and found out it has something to do with IP Tunneling. I went back through the config and I am having trouble finding what is enabled in networking that controls this. I know the obvious is to disable, or compile as a module, IP Tunneling, but I did not touch networking when I re-compiled for Firewire. My worry is that if I disable it, am I going to shut down something I need (I use my laptop at work (the powers that be are too cheap to provide laptops for the IT department, even though we look after a network that spans both England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Ireland...greed and economics, gotta love it...)...). It works when you install YDL 3.0.1, why doesn't it compile properly now.

I am going to upgrade the Kernel and try to reconfigure it from scratch. Maybe I will get lucky. If not, I think that I am going to have to take your second bit of advice and upgrade to YDL 4.0 (Last ditch solution though, the delivery costs twice as much as the software (Ooohhhhh more economics and greed, does the love never end...).

In the mean time, do you have any suggestions? Can you recommend a good Kernel? Last time I used YDL, the Benq(???) Kernels were the ones to download. Is this still true???

Thanks again for your previous help and any help you might be able to further provide,

Dylan

Derick's answer to you will be useful after you get the drive recognized.
In order for it to be recognized under YDL3, you must rescan the SCSI bus.
To do this, you will need a script called "rescan-scsi-bus.sh" for which
you may google. If you don't want to deal with that every time you want to
use the drive, take it upon yourself to upgrade to YDL4, where it just
works.

I had a look in the archives and couldn't find anything....
I have a Formac DVD-/+RW drive that connects via firewire.  I am trying 
to configure YDL 3.0 to connect to it, but to no avail.  Has anyone come 
across this or a similar problem?  Can anyone guide me to a fix?  If 
anyone can, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Dylan
