| Post subject: | New hardware detection (DVD-Rom drive) |
Hi, I installed my knoppmyth system with an old cd-rw drive and everything was working fine. Then, I wanted to replace the old cd-rw drive by a new DVD player I bought but it doesn't seem to work. When I put a cd or dvd in the new drive it doesn't mount and I can't access it with mythmusic for instance. Also I can see these errors in the system log: Nov 1 22:56:41 mythtv kernel: hdc: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } Nov 1 22:56:41 mythtv kernel: hdc: command error: error=0x54 { AbortedCommand LastFailedSense=0x05 } Nov 1 22:56:41 mythtv kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 0 I think that Knoppmyth is detecting the hardware and configuring the system only while the installation process. Is there a way I could rerun the hardware detection to install my new dvd-rom drive without reinstall the complete system? |

The DVD-ROM drive should work without changing anything (exept maybe an extra symlink of /dev/dvd to /dev/hdc, but that's optional). Perhaps the new drive is faulty, doesn't accept DMA (or requires it) or the master / slave / cable select jumper is set incorrectly. The last is the most likely. It's worth double checking it and set it properly. I would avoid using cable select and only use master / slave. |

Yeah, if you didn't connect the new drive so it appears in the same "place" as the old one that could be it. Try running the cd_link.sh script as root and see if that fixes things for you. |

Hi tjc, I alway seem to jump in questions you have to answer. (Should I stop asking you?) I have the same problem the thread describes (upgrade from old CD to a DVDROM - remember? I am the guy with the PC without onboard-modem.) My z25...cd.rules only shows the CD entries. I cannot find the cd_link.sh-script in my R5E50 installation. Red |

Hi, Just as a stupid question, did you check the rom drive jumper and cable connector? I would think it should be on second port, probably connector closest to mother for hdc and end one for hdd with jumper set for master. Mike |

Hi You are being kind  It could be a defective drive although I do doubt it. I did have one situation where hardware things just didn't work, then as a last shot I popped on a new 80 conductor cable and suddenly all was right with the world. I can only assume it needed the shielding.
What is yur hardware line up? Maybe it will ring a bell with someone and help provide the magic plug. Mike |

A collegue was at the CEBIT yesterday. He is not hardware pro or even semipro, but maybe it was inspiring 
Did I already write, that the DVD device is recognized as /dev/CDROM? I can mount the filesystem. I just can´t play DVDs. Red |
