 |
|
Hi
I have been having problems getting K3B to work and I think I know why...
For some reason my CDwriter gets found twice - once as /dev/hda and again as /dev/hdb. What can I do to stop this? I only have the one CD drive on the channel and I have tried both as Cable Select and Master. I know it works as in other OSs it is ok. In the bios there is only one device found.
Below is my dmesg with relevent (I hope) bits...

CoffeeNow,
Other than a few oddballs, PCs don't use Cable Select.
Set the drive to Master or Slave. You may need to tell the BIOS about it too.
If its the only IDE drive on the channel, to be specification compliant, it should be Master but it usually works as Slave.

Thanks for the reply. I have set it on Master now, and also checked this in the BIOS. It is likely that it something to do with the boot process and or kernel I think as it does work ok in other OSs.
