DVD UNCLAIMED UNKNOWN

I am trying to build up a L2000. The DVD drive shows in ioscan as UNCLAIMED UNKNOWN, but lists the driver as disk and description of DVD-ROM 305. Class is also showing unknown.

Can anyone help me with this issue. I have replaced the DVD drive, controller board, cables. all to no avail.

Hello Jim,

Be sure you have sdisk configured in the kernel - that is the correct driver for your DVD.

run lsdev |grep sdisk....if this does not return back anything then you need to load it into your kernel as stated above

Re: DVD UNCLAIMED UNKNOWN

see if you can run ioscan -M sdisk -H (hw path)...this is supposed to bind the driver to the specified hw path
