I've got a 'KHypermedia" 52x24x52 Seamless Link CD-RW drive.
I've triple checked all connections, it's connected as master device on the
secondary IDE cable. IDE cable is new, power is connected and available
because on boot the drive light flashes a few times and when I hit the
eject button the tray opens and closes normally.
I've tried putting it as slave on the primary IDE (in place of an older 24x
Cd-Rom).
In every case, the system apparently cannot see it and all attempts to mount
it fail:
debian:/# mount /media/cdrom1
mount: special device /dev/hdc does not exist
On another note, what's the best way to get firefox installed?
I tried first with apt-get:
debian:/# apt-get install firefox
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
firefox: Depends: libxfixes3 but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages
debian:/#
I figured. 'ok, get that first then so the dependency will be met'
apt-get install libxfixes3 ends up resulting in:
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
libxfixes3: PreDepends: x11-common (>= 1:7.0.0) but it is not going to be
installed
Taking it a step further and attempting to install x11-common first results
in a rather overwhelming output that looks to my inexperienced eye like
it's going to upgrade a lot of things, install several new things, and
remove a lot of things, among the things being removed it looks like MOST
of the KDE desktop components.
To be honest, All I wanted was to install the Firefox browser and hopefully
to do it the 'right' way by using a package management tool like apt-get or
synaptic, especialy since I haven't seen binary intallers since leaving
windoze behind. Gutting the system is not something I had in mind.
'sides, I'm just starting to get used to KDE and this thing looks like it
wants to remove it.
(BTW- trying with synaptic to install Firefox resulted in a similarly long
list of changes. I'm still fairly new to linux and this is just plain too
much at once.)

What have you installed?
Have you installed x-window-system or xorg?
After I installed I had to apt-get upgrade or dist upgrade right away. My
halt command, as well as a few others, didn't work until I upgraded. But
that depends on how you installed. I used a netinstall cd with the base
system.

No. It's finding hdb (the 24x cd-rom) allright, but
nothing in dmesg's output refers to hdc which should be the cd-rw.

presuming you mean what release of debian... 3.1 r0a "Sarge" which was the
current 'stable' release when I downloaded the CD

I started by choosing the 'desktop' package when instaling from the CD.
That seems to have installed both Gnome and KDE desktop environs. I mostly
use KDE, but once in a while Gnome seems better suited.

if you mean /etc/X11, yes.

- From what you've said and what I've seen googleing around, in order to use
the latest firefox build (1.0.5.2), I'd apparently have to do some serious
upgrading.
What's the best way to upgrade? edit /etc/apt/sources.list to point to etch
or sid instead of sarge and then apt-get dist-upgrade?

using the 2.6.8-2-386 kernel, the cd-rom shows up as /dev/hdb
(or /media/cdrom0), I figured that the cd-rw would appear as /dev/hdc
(or /media/cdrom1)

Does your BIOS see the CDRW (hdc) ? That *must* recognize the drive
first ....Ensure you have selected "AUTO" under "IDE Configuration" for
the Secondary Master (/dev/hdc) in the BIOS. BTW - I never heard of
'KHyperwhatever' ...lol

Oh yeah...a few more things;
Make sure you have the drive "jumpered" properly.
MA = Master
SL = Slave
Csel = Cable Select
I believe the question related to X11 is are you using "Xorg" or
"Xfree86"...your kernel version would seem to make it Xfree86 - the
corresponding Config file for XFree86 is;
~$ /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
Precede above command with 'cat' - or 'less' is actually better to view
it from a console.
If for some reason you need to reconfigure the Display (using xfree86
and although I don't see why...or I missed it)..use 'dpkg-reconfigure
xserver-xfree86' from console as root.

whoops - Just because I now see you posted "Xorg" stuff earlier;

(my comments)
If you wanted to install X11 (Xfree86 style), I think instead of
X11-common, you would use as root;
~$ apt-get install x-window-system-core

Exacatly, maybe use "aptitude dist-upgrade" instead of apt-get;
aptitude is assumed to do a better dependency handling.

nope, BIOS not showing the cd-rw.. I checked the ASUS site looking for a
bios upgrade for tx97-xv (rev 1.3) and found upgrades for several other
flavors of tx97-??, but not this one.
