<snip> Or is there some other way I can refer to the devices in a way independently of the order they are plugged in? BTW. I am not running devfs.Maybe you should. That might solve your problem easily. I don't know the status of devfs in Debian right now, but it is the one thing I want to change on my system as soon as I have the time. I ran a small distribution using devfs and it's a beauty, in my opinion, anyway, ;-) David
Hi,my experience is that the scsi mods should be loaded in a spes order, I got this one in my modules.conf.
<snip> ### This is what I have done with cd-burningoptions ide-cd ignore=hdc # tell the ide-cd module to ignore hdc, my burner options ide-cd ignore=hdb # tell the ide-cd module to ignore hdb, my cd/dvd rom
alias scd0 sr_mod # load sr_mod upon access of scd0 alias scd1 sr_mod #pre-install ide-scsi modprobe imm # uncomment for some ZIP drives only pre-install sg modprobe ide-scsi # load ide-scsi before sg pre-install sr_mod modprobe ide-scsi # load ide-scsi before sr_mod pre-install ide-scsi modprobe ide-cd # load ide-cd before ide-scsi <snip>Im useing scsi emulation for both burner and cd/dvd, that way I can copy disks "on the fly".
