I have been using Debian for some time now, and over that time have acquired several new items of hardware.
I have a CD writer, which is IDE, and therefore needs SCSI emulation. This was always device 0,1,0 when specifed to cdrecord. I also have a digital camera, which is USB mass storage. I know cdrecord at least should be able to cope with me specifying /dev/sg1 so I may well try that. It seems that, at some time recently, the two buses have swapped over, so the USB is now 0, and the IDE 1, so the CD writer is now 1,1,0. The camera still mounts, as it is referred to as /dev/sda1. Why might these buses have swapped over? If I can refer to the CD writer as /dev/sg1 in cdrecord, this won't matter, but I consider this a strange thing to happen anyway. -- Phil Reynolds (PGP now available) o ____ Internet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |L_ \ / Web: http://www.tinsleyviaduct.com/phil/ (_)- \/ Waltham 67, Emley Moor 69, Droitwich 79, Windows 95
