Is anyone else running a Pioneer DRM-602X 6 pack cdrom jukebox?
I have one that runs fine when booted to dos with LILO but under
Slackware 2.3 (kernel 1.2.8) Linux only sees the top (or first)
cdrom. Is there a way to get Linux to mount all 6 cdroms?

Oh, fwiw, I'm using a Adaptec aha1505 (non-bios) controller. No
problem with it.

Thanks for any help you can offer. I am knee deep in the HOWTO
files but have yet to come across anything.

tnx...ttyl...kmb

Under 1.2.8 I had to add the following to the boot parameters

max_scsi_luns=6

Since I use LoadLin, I don't know how to do this with LILO.

The problem is that by default, the kernel only checks for the first
logical unit (LUN) on each address of the scsi controller. The above
command tells it to check the first six.

This works with my 602. All six CD are mounted simultaneously.

Another option (which I use, having a DRM-600 - the single-speed
sibling of the DRM-602) is to compile the kernel with PROBE_LUNS
defined. This _MIGHT_ cause problems with other devices (known list in
blacklist in 1.2.xx kernels and in BLIST in 1.3.xx kernels). CF4030
40MB SCSI-1 disk from Conner is one.
