Help! Why my samsung dvd rw can not be found???!!!
Hi,all dear friends here!
Last week I bought a new pc,and I wanna install the mandrake linux10 which I downloaded and burned in Aug.2004. After I reboot my computer and saw the first GUI installation guide of mandrake, I jumped to the ceiling of my house but then I fallen down on the floor because I found that the mandrake warned me"can not found the cd rom device"! Gosh,my rom is a samsung toshiba dvd rw.And I heard the mandrake 9.0 version already supported the dvdrw hardware,so what's wrong with my mandrake linux? is my linux kernel too old(version 2.4) or something else? I am also suspecting the old version's problem but I don't have a newest kernel by now,and can not download a new one in my office(boss is watching me....),until next week I can go online in my own home ,but,I am so desperately to know the problem right now.... Help me please with sincerely wishes |
to find out what kernel version you are using try:
Code:
uname -r and tell us how you connected the dvd-rw (secondary master, primary slave, etc) |
to Mr Circle
Mr Perfect Circle:
Frankly,the problem happended at the very first begining of my mandrake linux installation,so I even can not finished my installation....,but I know the kernel must be 2.4***. anyway,your's "check how you connected your dvd rw" really gives me a good hint!:) so I am gonna go back home to see that and tomorrow I will tell you. Thank you very much for your help. sincerely. SongQi |
