When I boot the Planet CRRMA audio distribution based on fedora fc1 (on the same computer) everything works fine. As it uses a newer 2.4 Kernel I upgraded my Debian sid to 2.4.27. After some searching I finally found my dvd drive (hdd) on /dev/scd7 (!) I still do not understand why /dev/scd0 to /dev/scd6 all talk to the same drive (hdb) > I think the easiest thing to do is use a 2.6 kernel, No, for audio work a patched 2.4 kernel beats 2.6. There are some very recent reports about good results on 2.6.10, so this is likely to change soon. > I would use 'hdparm' and test different arrangements of hd's and cd's. > This way you can see if DMA or other options are working and in which > configurations the drives work best. Yes, that's what I'm doing. Of corse I had checked *before* selecting my configuration if putting the optical drives as slaves does not slow down the hd's (masters).
