Description of problem: This is the proc/scsi/scsi on the 2.6.8-1.521 kernel : Attached devices: Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: IBM Model: ST318305LW Rev: C507 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 03 Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 01 Lun: 00 Vendor: IBM Model: DDYS-T18350N Rev: S93E Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 03 Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 02 Lun: 00 Vendor: IBM Model: DDYS-T18350N Rev: S93E Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 03 Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 06 Lun: 00 Vendor: PLEXTOR Model: CD-R PX-W124TS Rev: 1.06 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Host: scsi4 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: Revoltec Model: USB/IDE Bridge ( Rev: 0103 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 And this is how 2.6.6-1.435.2.3smp kernel see the last device : Host: scsi2 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: HL-DT-ST Model: DVD-ROM GDR8162B Rev: 0015 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 My usb dvdrom drive seems mis-detected by the kernel and see as an hard drive (sdd), when it should be seen as a cdrom drive (scd1). Version-Release number of selected component : kernel 2.6.7-1.494.2.2 and 2.6.8-1.521 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot kernel 2.6.[78] FC2 kernels. 2. Plug the drive 3. Try to play with scd[0-9] devices (eject, cat, whatever) Actual Results: All scd[0-9] devices report "no such device". "eject sdd" works but other things report reading errors. kudzu didnt make the cdrom1 link in /dev, but this is just a side effect. Expected Results: kernel should report correct vendor/model strings. And /dev/scd1 should be attached to the drive. And things should "just work".
kernel 2.6.8-1.541 from rawhide is also affected.
kernel 2.6.8-1.584 from rawhide is also affected. :d
Ditto for 2.6.8-1.590. Switching bug to fc3.

Phil Dibowitz closed the osdl bug report as 'patch already available'. Here's the link to the patch http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-usb-devel&m=109389123309604&w=2 Would you mind applying it ? I'm missing my dvds. TIA.
Patched & recompiled 2.6.8-1.598 fixed my problem. Eject doesnt work though, but i dont think it's related.
Ping ???
patch included in 2.6.9-1.639smp. Thank you.
FYI, patch has been included in 2.6.10-rc1.
