kernel 2.6.2 question
 

Has anyone else seen this problem? I upgraded to kernel 2.6.2 on Redhat 8 and cannot get my cd drive to recognize the disks. I checked lsmod and the ide-cd module is loaded, but inserting a disk in the drive does not mount it. When going to disk management in system tools, the only device listed is the floppy drive. Any help?

If your still having a problem try Appending hdc=ide-scsi

That shouldn't be necessary with a 2.6 kernel should it? (Because there's no need for scsi emulation.)

If you type (as root) cdrecord -scanbus does that show anything?

I assume that you've booted from your old kernel to check that the drive is still OK?

(In fact - since you must have fixed it by now - what was the answer?)

cdrecord --dev=/dev/hdc -scanbus

Make sure you don't have "hdc=ide-scsi" on your kernel boot line...

scsi emulation is supposively fast than atapi. I built my kernel built scsi emulation and atapi support as modules so I can use it eithier way. here is a good guide to getting a cdr working with atapi [URL]http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=126036&highlight=cdr+atapi[/URL]
