CDRW problem :(

h8r · 04-17-2003, 06:21 AM

Im tryin to burn cds on my slackware 8.1.. i read CDRW Howto and from there i understand i should put in lilo.conf append "hdc=ide-scsi" and then load the ide-scsi module.. but..

bash-2.05a# modprobe ide-scsi
modprobe: Can't locate module ide-scsi

bash-2.05a# cdrecord -scanbus
Cdrecord 1.11a24 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2002 Jörg Schilling
cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open '/dev/pg*'. Cannot open SCSI driver.
cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are root.

Any ideas?

Can you post the output of 'lsmod' and 'ls -al /dev/sr0'.

bash-2.05a# lsmod
Module Size Used by Not tainted
cs4281 45544 1
soundcore 3236 3 [cs4281]

mii 992 0 [8139too]

bash-2.05a# ls -al /dev/sr0

home this will help

Have you run lilo and rebooted since you edited the append line?

h8r · 04-17-2003, 07:08 AM

yes.. lots of times..

Aussie · 04-17-2003, 07:26 AM

Right, just a few more questions :-)

1) What kernel did you install? (do 'uname -a')
2) Did you install the correct kernel module package? (look in /lib/modules/, you should have a directory in there named the same as the output from uname -a)

Im using kernel 2.4.18 with default configuration for slackware 8.1 (not precompiled) ide-scsi module is compiled in the kernel by default.. dunno .. any ideas?

What does 'modinfo ide-scsi' output?
This is what I get,

Code:

bern@grendel bern$ su -c 'modinfo ide-scsi'

do a modprobe sg
and modprobe ide-scsi

h8r · 04-17-2003, 08:44 AM

modinfo: ide-scsi: no module by that name found
bash-2.05a# modprobe sg
modprobe: Can't locate module sg

i thinki must recompile the kernel, right? and.. wht to put in?

No, you don't need to recompile the kernel for this to work, this is a trivial matter for a correctly installed slackware 8.1.
Check to see if the kernel-modules package is installed correctly, in slackware 9.0 it's kernel-modules-2.4.20-i486-7.tgz, the name in slack 8.1 will follow the same format, if you reinstall this package you will need to run 'depmod -ae' (as root) befor you reboot.
