 Posted: Mon Apr 21, 2008 6:11 pm Post subject: no cd-writer |
 |
|
Hello, in preparation for newly built system install i have moved my dvd burner out of current system and replace it with cd writer, now the system cannot see the cd-writer?
I know that if change NIC i need to modify config file in /etc/udev to get eth0 back and was wondering if need to do this same when changing optical drive?
The cd-writer is found by the bios just not gentoo:

carpman,
I assume that both the DVD and CD are IDE devices and that the DVD worked ?
That leaves the CD drive not correctly set for Master/Slave operation or a reversed IDE cable.
They are normally but not always keyed. The tracer (the coloured wire) should be Pin 1 on the motherboard and nearst the power connector on the drive.

Thanks for the advice but i have been building PCs for over 15 years so hardware is first thing i check.
Like i said the bios sees it fine, i booted from cd-writer using Gentoo live cd it just does not show in after booting current install?
the dvd burner worked fine and is going into new PC i am building.
cheers

carpman,
Let me try to second guess yor kernel setup for your drive interfaces :-
| Code: | 00:0f.0 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation CK804 IDE (rev f3)
00:10.0 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation CK804 Serial ATA Controller (rev f3) |
borrowed from another post.
Regardless of the electrical connection of the drives to the motherboard, you will use the SCSI high level later.
All your drives will appear as SCSI devices. This means you will have to change grub.conf and /etc/fstab if you have PATA drives.
In make menuconfig choose the following options:-
| Code: | Device Drivers --->
< > ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support ---> |
turn off the ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support menu item entirely.
You may think this will prevent your CDROM working - it won't. I'll explain later.
Choose | Code: | <*> Serial ATA (prod) and Parallel ATA (experimental) drivers --->
<*> NVIDIA SATA support
<*> AMD/NVidia PATA support
|
Thats the low level drivers set.
Now the high level SCSI driver
| Code: | | SCSI device support ---> |
Inside that menu choose
| Code: | │ │ < > RAID Transport Class
│ │ -*- SCSI device support
│ │ < > SCSI target support
│ │ [*] legacy /proc/scsi/ support
│ │ *** SCSI support type (disk, tape, CD-ROM) ***
│ │ <*> SCSI disk support
│ │ < > SCSI tape support
│ │ < > SCSI OnStream SC-x0 tape support
│ │ <*> SCSI CDROM support |
SCSI CDROM support may be either <M> or <*> but your CDROM is going to be treated as a SCSI device now. It will have two entries in /dev, /dev/sr0 which is the block device you use in the normal way and /dev/sg0 which is its controlling charater device. Normally, you don't need to know that as udev takes care of creating the symlinks properly. However, if your CDROm is listed in /etc/fstab as /dev/hd... that will need to change.

thanks for reply,
the kernel should fine, it was working without any issues with dvd burner which is pata so the kernel config should not be an issue as all i have is swap the dvd burner for cd-writer which is pata.
I will check kernel config but really can't see it being the problem as it was working fine and i have not touched kernel config, i may try putting the dvd burner back and see if that works.
cheers
