Very Computer

I am trying to install the Slackware version 2.0 off of CD-ROM. When I try
to boot using the bootdisk made using \bootdsk0\scsi I get the
response below. It looks like Linux is recognizing the scsi interface and
the CD-ROM but the system just hangs ( with drive A still spinning ).

I am using the MediaVision MV-1000 PAS-16 sound card with SCSI interface to
the CDR-H93MV CD-ROM ( does anybody know who really makes the CD-ROM? )

scsi0: at 0x388 irq 10 options CAN_QUEUE=32 CMD_PER_LUN=2 release=1
       generic options AUTOPROBE_IRQ AUTOSENSE PSEUDO DMA generic release=4
scsi0: PRO AudioSpectrum - 16 SCSI
scsi: 1 hosts.
      Vendor: MEDIAVIS     Model: CDR-H93MV Rev 1.32
      Type: CD-ROM         ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Detected scsi CD-ROM sr0 at scsi0, id 1, lun 0
scsi0: resetting for second half of retries  <---- here is where it hangs!

I have seen some other posts that reference the boot command:
  linux max_scsi_luns=1 pas16=0x388,255
Will this help in my case? Thanks in advance for any help on this problem!

Thanks in advance!!

       ---I think it is a Sanyo.  At least mine is.

     I recompiled my kernal after updating the scsi.c driver to add
     the info I got from a post a few days ago:

Edit /usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi/scsi.c
Search for a structure called blacklist and add the following line:
   {"MEDIAVIS","CDR-H93MV","1.31"},  /* Locks up if polled for lun != 0 *

Thanks to  Olav "Mac" Woelfelschneider for the original post!        

Hope this works.

best

All thats left to say is that this is now fixed since 1.1.62.
