IDE-SCSI emulation on /dev/hdc

mrgrieves · 05-16-2004, 02:00 AM

Apparently, I can't burn cd's because scsi emulation isn't enabled. K3b gives me this:

Quote:

cdrdao 1.1.7 does not support ATAPI
The configured version of cdrdao does not support writing to ATAPI devices without SCSI emulation and there is at least one writer in your system not configured to use SCSI emulation.
Solution: The best and recommended solution is to enable ide-scsi (SCSI emulation) for all writer devices. This way you won't have any problems. Or you install (or select as the default) a more recent version of cdrdao.
No support for ATAPI with cdrdao
You will not be able to use all your reading devices as copy sources since there is at least one not configured to use SCSI emulation and your system does not support ATAPI with cdrdao.
Solution: The best and recommended solution is to enable ide-scsi (SCSI emulation) for all devices. This way you won't have any problems.

I think its something to do with /etc/fstab but I can't remember how.

-Thanks in advance for any help

You need to pass the option "hdc=ide-scsi" to your kernel at boot time. If you use Grub, simply add "hdc=ide-scsi" (without the quotes) on the kernel line in your /boot/grub/menu.lst. If you use Lilo, you can add "append=hdc=ide-scsi" (again, without the quotes!) and rerun /sbin/lilo.

Reboot and then load the ide-scsi module: modprobe ide-scsi
You should now be able to access your CD-ROM as a SCSI device called /dev/sg0 or /dev/scd0.

brettybaby,
modprobe is located in the /sbin directory. You need to be logged in as root in order to run modprobe.

Thanks for that. I remember when I installed RedHat a while ago, it automatically added that parameter. But I forgot what the parameter was >.<

brettybaby, you need to login as root before you can use modprobe.
$ su
***** (root password)
# /sbin/modprobe ide-scsi
