Problem with CDROM drives
There's a problem with CDROM reading mechanism in RH 8.0. I tried to copy a 90MB file from CDROM to my harddisk running RH 8.0 but it didn't work No mounting problem... the drives can read the files using ls command I'm using 2 drives (hdc and hdd) with scsi hd. 1 drive is cdrom only and the other is cd-rw.. Anyone has solution ?? Rgds, -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
Re: Problem with CDROM drives
I use cp I've tried with other version (Valhalla) just works fine but not
with Psyche ... Same result under Xwindow. (GNOME, KDE)
got the message, says:
hdc: command error: status=0x51 {DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hdc: command error: error=0x54
end_request: I/O error, dev 16:00 (hdc), sector 550692
hdc is my cdrom drive
I try to scan the disc, but there's no error

Re: Problem with CDROM drives
Yeah .. I guess you're right I've just tried with 250 MB single file from cdrom ..
and no probs at all... Maybe I burn it in a wrong way... but still annoy me ...
Thanks,

Re: Problem with CDROM drives
I think I know the problem after I see the CD Info (using xcdroast), it's a
multi-session CD. I see 2 tracks of data :
1st track contain 1 MB
2nd track contain 657 MB data where the 90 MB file exist.
I don't know if this a problem but I think ...Psyche can't copy a file which lie on
2nd track of multisession CD I might be wrong . any comment ?

Re: NVidia's Newest Drivers (build 4191)
I don;t know about the "vesa" driver I think it will run for Geforce 3 & 4 as the default driver in Psyche. While I still use Geforce 2 and the default use "nv". I test it with game such tux racer and chromium, using the "nv" driver is drop... but not with the "nvidia" driver works better . Rgds, Arthur "Christopher A.

Re: Grub and SCSI
What kind of SCSI controller do you have ?? and How does Grub recognized all of your harddisk (hd0,hd1...)? What system do U have in your IDE drive ?

Re: Grub and SCSI
As far as I know, AVA series is not a bootable SCSI card. Often it's being used to attach SCSI peripheral such as scanner, ZIP or other non-bootable device. So, if U try it, it won;t work. Not just Linux but other O/S will not boot if U use this SCSI controller. (Correct me if I'm wrong) Try getting AHA-series . Rgds, Arthur "A.J. Werkman" wrote: > I have an AVA 2904.

Re: Adding an 80G Seagate IDE drive....
Your mobo doesn't have on-board SCSI controller, so what controller do you use ?
You can set the BIOS boot sequence in your "BOOT" menu in "1st to 8th Boot
Device" and make sure you choose SCSI over IDE-HDD.
And try to set Plug & Play O/S to "Disable"
