SCSI Emulation

Odd_Bloke · 09-06-2003, 06:19 AM

I have an ATAPI CD-burner and my burning program (X-CD Roast) warns me that SCSI emulation would be better. How can I enable/install this?

Cheers,
Dan

try ::
modprobe ide-scsi
as root..

It couldn't find this command...

a) you have to be root
b) if you are root, and if /sbin is not in your path, then you have to type :: /sbin/modprobe ide-scsi

OK, that is working now, but it doesn't return anything. Does this mean it is not installed? If so, how do I install it?

Cheers,

as root do

lsmod

and see if it's there then try your burner again

I get returned the lines (amongst others)::
ide-scsi 11984 0
scsi_mod 106200 1 [ide-scsi]
ide-cd 35196 0 (autoclean)
cdrom 33472 0 (autoclean) [ide-cd]

Yet my burning software still complains that I am not using SCSI emulation. What am I doing wrong?

you need to pass the parameter to the kernel. If you use grub edit your grub.conf, add hdX=ide-scsi to the line where it specifies the kernel then do a reboot.
for example:

kernel /boot/vmlinuz ro root=/dev/hdc3 hdh=ide-scsi

where /dev/hdh is my burner

if u use lilo I think you u add "append=hdX=ide-scsi", i don't use lilo so not exactly sure.
