 Posted: Tue Jul 23, 2002 8:20 pm Post subject: Which kernel options for ide-scsi? |
 |
|
Hi, I'm trying to setup the CD burner on my Dell Inspiron 8000 and I've gone through a billion different guides on setting it up all telling me to enable the 'ide-scsi' module in my kernel without telling me what kernel option actually does that. What I'm seeing is:
ATA/IDE/MFM/RLL support -> IDE, ATA and ATAPI Block devices -> Include IDE/ATAPI CDROM support
ATA/IDE/MFM/RLL support -> IDE, ATA and ATAPI Block devices -> SCSI emulation support
ATA/IDE/MFM/RLL support -> SCSI support -> SCSI support
ATA/IDE/MFM/RLL support -> SCSI support -> SCSI disk support
ATA/IDE/MFM/RLL support -> SCSI support -> SCSI CD-ROM support
ATA/IDE/MFM/RLL support -> SCSI support -> SCSI generic support
ATA/IDE/MFM/RLL support -> SCSI support -> SCSI low-level drivers -> LOTS of options
I'm having trouble figuring out which one of these is supposed to give me the 'ide-scsi' module. Which ones should be setup as modules and which ones compiled into the kernel? |

you want all but the scsi low level driver support...unless you have one of those scsi devices.
remember after you compile in those options to add hd?=scsi to the kernel line of your grub menu.lst, where ? is the drive letter of your cdrw. |

| Which ones do I install as modules, though? From what I understand, to be able to insmod ide-scsi , I need one of those to be a module. |

Compile IDE CD-ROM support as a module. Compile IDE-SCSI emulation directly. Also, compile in SCSI CD-ROM and SCSI Generic. That should be all you need. Then give your kernel the following boot parameter.
The above assumes your IDE CD-RW is on /dev/hdc. You add this parameter to your boot loader configuration. Add the modules to your modules.autoload file, putting the SCSI stuff before the IDE CD-ROM module. That should take care of it. |

just compile them all into the kernel...if you insist on modules then any that are not needed for your hardware to boot correctly....an example , i ahve scsi hard drives, well i could hardly compile scsi hard disk and the sym53c8xx_2 driver as modules, less my system wouldnt be able to boot.
but again i would just compile them in |

| What's the difference between hdc=ide-scsi and hdc=scsi, then? Is one for the module version and the other for everything compiled-in? Like I said, I've read a lot of instructions about my CD-RW drive (on Dell Inspiron 8000) and all of them want me to have an "ide-scsi" module. I didn't have any luck with having everything compiled in and loading hdc=ide-scsi with grub. |

Check out this section of the SCSI 2.4 HOWTO.
