Hello Marc
No -- I think you got confused because the system shows 2 CD-ROMS...
I really have 2 CD-Roms and my hard disk missing hardiest has ID 3!
I know that i have a working hardiest on /dev/sda (and i can also access
it)
(scsi0:0:3:0) Synchronous at 10.0 Mbyte/sec, offset 15.
Vendor: IMS Model: CDD2000/00 Rev: 1.26
Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Detected scsi CD-ROM sr0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 4, lun 0
The adaptec controller gets really confused here!!!
It find's something on ID 3 but shows afterwards ID 4 which must be a
bug in the driver anyway. It should at least complain that this device
cannot be used or something!!!
But non of my kernels found it anyway. (And I even used older 2.0.36
kernels ...)
The ID of the hard disk I am missing is '3' and this hard disk is
(partly) shown on the adaptec configuration. (/dev/sdb)
It contains a SUSE + 1 Redhat and a Mandrake system. The disk has a size
of '4 GB'.
Here the original listing (from my first posting on the kernel mailing
list)
(scsi0:0:3:0) Synchronous at 10.0 Mbyte/sec, offset 15.
Vendor: QUANTUM Model: FIREBALL ST4.3S Rev: 0F04
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision:
Detected scsi disk sdb at scsi0, channel 0, id 3, lun 0
I have taken out the confusing 'date/time' entries from
/var/log/messages.
And no I am not a beginner in Linux. I am using it since 1993 and
normally know what I am doing there. (But I must admit I'm not a kernel
hacker.) But at least a little postgres and kde hacking..
I think this should really go to the right persons/hackers as for me it
looks like a bug in Windows 2000 (I assume it's not a feature!!!)
It was really I installed Windows 2000 and after the first boot I tried
again to access my linux partitions (I did even touch this hard disk
during installation / but it was not disconnected!)
and after the install the hardiest disappeared from the system
configuration. And i am sure it's not a hardware fault as it works in
Windows, NT, W2K and with the BIOS!
fdisk /mbr from DOS did not help (i removed all other drives) -- i
thought this may restore some needed information for linux.
fdisk normal with installing a dos partition did not help
fdisk from linux is not possible as the partition '/dev/sdb' is not
visible.
After the problem started i checked also cables, reconnected them,
installed this drive as only SCSI drive... All this did not help.

A SCSI hard disk, seen by Linux as /dev/sda

Which one of these CD ROMs is your hard drive ? :)
