lg-gsa 4163b under slackware - how?
Hello ,
I've got lg-gsa 4163b and i've installed slackware 10.1 with kernel 2.4.29.When i start my slinux it doesn't detect the dvd writer, what should i do in order to have a fully working dvd writer?On linuxcompatibles.org they say that "it works like a charm" , is this possible under slackware 10.1? |
Assuming a "lg-gsa 4163b" is a dvd writer (it wasn't quite oblivious in the post, eh?) you need to add something to your lilo (grub?) boot option.
Edit /etc/lilo.conf (I assume you use lilo) and find a line like append="" Add "hdX=ide-scsi" to the list of options already there (there might be none) where hdX is your Dvd writer device ( hda = primary master, hdb = primary slave, hdc = secondary master, hdd = secondary slave ). Then, type "lilo" to reinstall lilo on your MBR. If you switch to kernel 2.6.X a day, you will have to change this option to "hdX=ide-cd" |
