Hi there, My name's Francisco; I've been using LiNUX since years ago, but not a Debian distribution (I've tested a Debian 1.3.1 it years ago also but I drop it as soon as dselect appeared on stage...). Now I've decide to try it again and, in general, I like it a lot :-D
Well, and now my first little big trouble... I've a Sony CD-RW CRX1611 that I've been using until yesterday below SuSE 7.3. In SuSE, I must dissable its DMA and use max_scsi_luns=1 on lilo.conf append because both, cd-writer (/dev/hdc) and cd-rom (/dev/hdd) are detected as if they have two luns each one. I've the same trouble under Debian, but max_scsi_luns that resolve this on SuSE did NOT work in Debian... This is the lilo append line: append="max_scsi_luns=1 hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi" Of course, I've exec lilo after changes, reboot the system and these things... Take a look at boot messages: [...] Kernel command line: auto BOOT_IMAGE=Linux ro root=302 max_scsi_luns=1 hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi [...] SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00 scsi0 : SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices Vendor: SONY Model: CD-RW CRX1611 Rev: TYS7 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Vendor: SONY Model: CD-RW CRX1611 Rev: TYS7 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Vendor: TOSHIBA Model: CD-ROM XM-6402B Rev: 1008 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Vendor: TOSHIBA Model: CD-ROM XM-6402B Rev: 1008 Type: CD-ROM [...] It seems like max_scsi_luns has no effect... :-/ I'm using woody, with 2.4.16-686 kernel.
