Is anyone using a Panasonic CR-503 CD-ROM with Linux?

I don't seem to be able to persuade Linux to see mine. The drive light
comes on during boot-up, but the console messages indicate that only the
SCSI hard-drive was detected.

Does anyone know if this particular model is supported in the Slackware release,
and if so, what I could be doing wrong.

I have rebuilt the kernel with SCSI CD-ROM support, and mknod'ed the
device files.

Cheers.

No problem. I use also the CR-503 on a Adaptec 1542cf. It's the last
part on the bus and terminated. Are you compiled the iso9660 filesystem
into the kernel ? Make sure that you have /dev/sr0 and not /dev/scd0.
I have had scd0 and i doesn't work. The major/minor is the same, but slackware
on the last infomagic is looking for /dev/sr0.

    Sorry! May I ask another question?
    I use PAS16 and panasonic 503b but can't mount cdrom correctly!
    It always display "SCSI host 0 timed out ..." and system is down....
    From the FAQ:"SCSI-HOW", it tell me that this is IRQ's problem.
    I have done "fdisk" and want to install linux from cdrom.
    Does anyone have any solution about it?
    Thank you very much!
