Cannot open "Scsi.device" unit 1

[Bildheinze]

Hy!
I always get that error message when i start up.

Don't know whats wrong..got oS3.5 and idefix,deleted the os cd driver

When i boot from the emergency disk,the cd rom is there...

-then after a warm reboot from my system the cd rom is still   there...

But when i cold reboot i get this error message and there is no cd rom drive..(when i hit "Find device "in idefix i can see the cd rom...but no chance to mount it....

is there something wrong with the startup-sequence???

Please Help!! :-?  :-?  :-?

It's connected the right way,and i copied the driver from the emergency disk to the devs folder on my system..still doesn't work....this is weird...


booting up from emergency disk---cd rom there
warm reboot from system---cd rom there
cold reboot from system --cd rom NOT there..cannot open "scsi-device"unit 1

what i try now is give the cdrom an extra powerconnection,it is connected with the powersupply for the floppy disk...maybe theres a delay...

still no sucess....i also tried and copy the startup-sequence from the emergency disk into my system....i also installed everything completely new..no luck...

Hey Daniele,i tried another cd rom  unit and it's still the same....and Tokyoracer,thats interesting do you also then get another workbench message that your workbench is about to be resetet???

i'm glad i can still use it but always have to use that workaround first boot from emergency and the warmboot from system......

anybody  got another idea??

thanks for reply...

@ merc
i tried that also with the wait till drives ready and put in up to 20 wait.

also when i do a soft boot from the system the cd rom is not there ..only if i boot before that from the emergency disk.

so i think it must be ready quick enough....

what else could it be...i tried 3 different cd rom drives now al the same..

The problem is solved!!

Only with reinstalling idefix the problem was still there...but  a vesalia technician told me about doin a SKIPROMUPDATE in the start-sequence so i did that as it is written in this FAQ amije posted the link for.

http://www.gregdonner.org/os35faq/installtips.html#15

this skipromupdate is for switching of a new scsi-device it says. and reinstalled idefix after that..and now everything is working fine!!!

and again thanks everybody for the quick help,without this forum i probably would have given up by now!!! :-D  :-D
