I decided before detaching the cd-rw drive to just boot the system with the new kernel (2.4.22-1.2188.nptl) and see here my messages from dmesg: SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00 PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 00:08.0 ncr53c8xx: at PCI bus 0, device 8, function 0 ncr53c8xx: 53c810a detected ncr53c810a-0: rev 0x23 on pci bus 0 device 8 function 0 irq 11 ncr53c810a-0: ID 7, Fast-10, Parity Checking scsi0 : ncr53c8xx-3.4.3b-20010512 Vendor: HP Model: C1537A Rev: L610 Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 ... st: Version 20030406, bufsize 32768, max init. bufs 4, s/g segs 16 Attached scsi tape st0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 5, lun 0 hdd: attached ide-cdrom driver. hdd: ATAPI 48X DVD-ROM drive, 128kB Cache, UDMA(33) Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.12 hdc: attached ide-scsi driver. scsi1 : SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices Vendor: PLEXTOR Model: CD-R PX-W4824A Rev: 1.05 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0 at scsi1, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 40x/40x writer cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray ncr53c810a-0-<5,*>: FAST-10 SCSI 10.0 MB/s (100 ns, offset 8) st0: Block limits 1 - 16777215 bytes. # cat /proc/scsi/scsi Attached devices: Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 05 Lun: 00 Vendor: HP Model: C1537A Rev: L610 Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: PLEXTOR Model: CD-R PX-W4824A Rev: 1.05 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 So problem solved with the new kernel??
