CDRW and cdrecord -scanbus

dai · 08-23-2002, 02:26 AM

Ok slight problem when I run cdrecord -scanbus to check for my cdrecorder it comes back telling me ide-scsi emulation not installed and to try cdrecord -scanbus (or something to this effect)

the scsi-ide module is loaded and I can access/mount the cdrw from /dev/hdc/ (its set as secondary master and I havent symlinked it to Cdrw yet as Scsi emu isnt working)

I boot into Slack thru the boot disk, I have tried passing the command append /dev/hdc = ide-scsi to the kernel at the boot prompt but all i get is an error telling me command append cannot be found (or something to this effect)

maybe the format for the append command is incorrect should it be

append = /dev/hdc = ide-scsi

instead of

append /dev/hdc = ide-scsi

Anybody got any ideas?????

append ="hdc=ide-scsi"

And you could just put it in lilo

do I need the " " around the hdc=ide-scsi????

MasterC · 08-23-2002, 03:59 AM

I don't know, I know I use em and they work.

Check your bootmsgs.Mine says something like 'using scsi emulation for hdc bla,bla'.

So just run Dmesg

Okay Slight problem

I am booting from the Slack boot floppy and when I type: -

append =/dev/hdc=ide-scsi

I get the error kernel image append not found

So what do I need to do to sort this out???????

I also dont have a lilo.conf in /etc/

I dont think ive installed lilo, how can i install it to the first sector of my boot partition??

MasterC · 08-24-2002, 04:52 AM

/sbin/lilo I believe does that, I will poke around if that doesn't work and see what I can find. But you would have to have lilo installed.

Cool

Ive got lilo in /sbin/

but when I run it it tells me that i dont have /etc/lilo.conf

should I create one and put the line append=/dev/hdc=ide-scsi in it or are there other things that need to be placed in there????

MasterC · 08-24-2002, 05:05 AM

Well, yes, but run liloconfig to "create" one, then add the entry...

MasterC · 08-24-2002, 05:05 AM

But not /dev/hdc, just hdc

Hi
I thought at bootprompt, the append should not be there;
so only use; hdc=ide-scsi
the append=" hdc=ide-scsi" is for lilo.conf (rerun lilo)
a dmesg|less should show your ide_setup: hdc= ide-scsi
do also cat /proc/scsi/scsi that should return your burner
do lsmod see what shows up
maybe need to do; modprobe ide-scsi
just some loose hints
good luck

okay created lilo.conf in pico as a blank document

added the following

append ="hdc=ide-scsi"

run lilo and get following error

bash-2.05a# lilo
Warning: LBA32 addressing assumed
Fatal: Can't put the boot sector on logical partition 0x0307

otcome of cat /proc/scsi/scsi

bash-2.05a# cat /proc/scsi/scsi
Attached devices: none

and lsmod (ide-scsi is loaded)

There is another way. I have a normal CD-ROM at /dev/hdc and a CD-RW which is accessed through the scsi-ide layer at /dev/scd0. To realise this not by using kernel-options in lilo.conf, but by having the following in /etc/modules.conf :

Code:

options ide-cd          ignore=hdd
alias scd0              sr_mod
pre-install sg          modprobe ide-scsi
pre-install ide-scsi    modprobe ide-cd

If I added that to /etc/rc.d/rc.modules

will it have the same effect??????????
