I just got a Pioneer DRM-604x (Firmware Rev 2403), a six cd
changer, and have been having endless trouble getting it to work with
Linux. I have tried both a Linux/Intel box with an Adaptec 2940 SCSI card
and a Dec Alpha UDB with an NCR 8xxx SCSI card. In both cases I am met
with a multitude of SCSI errors. I was able to solve some by increasing
the scsi timeout in the kernel, but not all of them. At the moment, the
disc changer and an Exabyte 8700LT tape driver are butting heads on the
SCSI bus (w/the Adaptec SCSI card). Playing audio CDs work, but with lots
of SCSI errors, while reading data cds is impossible (met with fatal SCSI
errors). All of the hardware (SCSI cards, tape driver, systems, etc...)
were working fine before I added the disc changer.
Before I go posting thousands of lines of SCSI errors and all of
the different permuntation I have tried (and failed)... Is there any one
else out there that has this drive working with Linux? If so, what, if
anything, did you have to do special to get the drive to work with Linux?
Or, has ever one that has ever tried this drive w/Linux given up on it as
a lost cause? Thanks!
PS. The cd drive works fine under Win95 on a different computer
with a simple, no-bios PCI scsi card (Advansys I think). :(
