Hi everybody!
I've been trying to solve this problems for several week now, went
through
all the concerned HOWTOs, but it's just too hard to solve for me:
I have a laptop with Adaptec SlimSCSI 1460, SyQuest, CD-ROM 8X.
Under Windows verything works, and is recognized fine.
Under Linux Kernel 2.0.32, when at boot the SCSI is probed (just after
the
PCcard services are installed), the controller is found, the SyQuest is
found,
but no CD-ROM are detected. If I take off the SyQuest, the controller is
detected, but then uninstalled, since no hosts are detected (ie the
CD-ROM
is not seen).
What I already tried:
- Test the cables & terminator setting.
- Recompile the kernel to make sure that all SCSI support is installed.
- Rescan the SCSI bus after boot.
- Add on the fly to the SCSI bus via /proc/scsi/scsi the CD-ROM
specifically.
None of these seemed to give life to the device. Any ideas?
Cheers,
Balazs
