Hi Bob, |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Thought you might be interested on how things went. Sorry for the |
| 38 |
delay, I am recovering from an injury I suffered a little over a week ago. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
Anyway, due to not being able to troubleshoot the SCSI cd-rom problem |
| 41 |
for a while, and some other things I had half done, I decided to |
| 42 |
reinstall Gentoo from scratch. It was a new build so not like I had |
| 43 |
anything to loose. |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
Once the build was completed, and made sure I included your options you |
| 46 |
suggested for troubleshooting with the initial build of the kernel I booted. |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
Still could not access the scsi cd-rom. At least it was being assigned |
| 49 |
again, but unable to access. One thing I noticed in dmesg is that my |
| 50 |
sata dvd unit was showing up with the same identification, which they |
| 51 |
both are plextor brands, but that is where it ends, one is a scsi cdrw |
| 52 |
and the other a sata dvd burner. |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 40x/40x writer cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray |
| 55 |
sr 0:0:1:0: Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0 |
| 56 |
sr1: scsi3-mmc drive: 40x/40x writer cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
Tried mounting the dvd unit, worked fine. Tried the cdrw, no luck, |
| 59 |
stated no medium present. |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
With the above info, decided to disconnect the sata dvd. After system |
| 62 |
restarted, the scsi cdrw fired up perfectly. |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
Brought system down, reconnected the sata dvd unit and after power up, |
| 65 |
both units are now working. In fact the dmesg statements are from the |
| 66 |
working config, though it was the same when it was not working. |
| 67 |
|
| 68 |
At this time all I have done is tried mounting the units and was able to |
| 69 |
view the contents, have not tried burning anything at this time. Still |
| 70 |
putting system together. |
| 71 |
|
| 72 |
Anyway I do not have a cause for the problem. Some how my sata unit and |
| 73 |
scsi unit were conflicting with each other it would appear. |
| 74 |
My scsi kernel settings have the suggestions you made, and all else that |
| 75 |
is there by default. |
| 76 |
I am reluctant to mess with the scsi kernel settings after things are |
| 77 |
finally working. |
| 78 |
|
| 79 |
Previously when I played with the settings one of my to units |
| 80 |
disappeared and I was unable to get it back. |
| 81 |
|
| 82 |
Thanks for your help, |
| 83 |
