A strange, intermittent problem this one. We have two 8400's at firmware level
4.9
Sometimes, following power up (disable -> enable) the CDROM (RRD45) isn't seen
during the SCSI probe. No error messages are reported, but it just doesn't
appear in the show dev output. Pressing the eject button doesn't open the
drive, so it looks as if it hasn't been seen at init time. The same
problem appears on both boxes about 25% of the time. Switching off and on
is the only way I know to fix it.
P.S. We're currently sticking with firmware 4.9 because 5.0 comes with a caution
about problems with KZPSAs.
