Still having trouble with the drive. I am in the middle of taking a
stab at re-compiling the Kernel, but ran into trouble with compiling the
modules. If that doesn't work, I might just upgrade to YDL 4.0. Thank
you for the reading suggestions. I haven't had a chance to look at them
yet, but I will make time on my breaks at work.
Thanks again,
Dylan

Hi Dylan:
I'll assume YDL 3 is working properly. It does matter, in resolving
this particular problem, whether your hardware is Old World or New
World AND whether you are using BootX or yaboot. The procedure to
address this kind of problem is different according to which kind of
hardware you are using.
However, after the above is determined you should as superuser run
cdrecord and discover whether cdrecord sees the DVD at all. If
cdrecord cannot see the device, neither will the kernel. The
challenge is to load the get the kernel to load the correct driver so
that cdrecord can see the device (as a just another device on the
SCSI chain) and THEN you should be able to use it.
Some background reading material is available at:
http://www.sharplabs.com:8668/space/start/BootX+and+ide-scsi
and a reference leading to another website:
http://www.sharplabs.com:8668/space/Updating+YDL/Doing+things+as+root/
A+referral+regarding+using+Modprobe%2C+Kerneld%2C+and+Insmod
When you get to http://www.linux-sxs.org./ make sure you read the
links listed in the Bedtime Reading section. Of course, that website
is chock full of stuff, but it is not specific to YDL. It is related
to Linux however and it may give you a different foundation than just
what is provided at the YDL FAQ site.
Should your system be New World you should be able to execute the
ide-scsi driver as superuser from the command line or perhaps more
convenient include the sequence "hda=ide-scsi" in a script or dot
file so that it is executed everytime you login. Of course, you
will replace hda for whatever nomenclature your system utiliizes.
Best wishes....

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
