scsi redhat

chrismiceli · 03-16-2003, 10:56 PM

I am trying to get scsi emulation working so I can burn cd's in redhat. I have tried to recompile the kernel, but it won't boot all the way. I don't know if the redhat kernel has scsi emulation turned off or not, could someone please help me out. I can't seem to get any of it to work.

You'd have to post what error you get when you try to boot up, you may also need to boot up with a param like hdc=scsi (if hdc is your cd drive)

Don't have to recompile the kernel.
See the linux documentation proect for CD writing http://www.tldp.org/. All you have to do is load the SCSI emeulation module
insmod ide-scsi

Change bootloader
lilo.conf:
append="hdc=ide-scsi"
rerun /sbin/lilo
grub.conf:
hdX=ide-scsi

when i trie insmod ide-scsi i get this
/boot>insmod ide-scsi
Using /lib/modules/2.4.18-26.8.0/kernel/drivers/scsi/ide-scsi.o
/lib/modules/2.4.18-26.8.0/kernel/drivers/scsi/ide-scsi.o: unresolved symbol scsi_unregister_module_R81d85a75

/lib/modules/2.4.18-26.8.0/kernel/drivers/scsi/ide-scsi.o: unresolved symbol scsi_register_R4c310a81

and i use grub, not lilo. thanx for the help, but I need more.

got it to work, all i had to do what modprobe ide-scsi, then it would work, then I added to grub hdd=ide-scsi , woo hoo, didn't even need to recompile the kernel!
