|

hiya everyone...
i'm ver new to the gentoo world (installed last night), and i'm having fun so far. one problem is, i cant get my cdwriter to be detected by cdrecord -scanbus
i think it may be down to my grub setup, i merely wrote:
append="hdc=ide-scs"
in my /boot/grub/menu.lst file.
another problem is, the vga bootup choice. with lilo, all i had to do was add: vga=773 to my lilo.conf file, and i'd have a different console font when booting up.
so, could anyone guide me in the right direction for getting these things setup correctly with grub? (or can i just go back to lilo, easily?)
many thanks for reading. |

I have been meaning to write a good howto on this that's straight and to the point, but simply, you need to disable, ide cdroms in the kernel and enable scsi emulation, and scsi cdroms, after that, give the correct permissions, and cdrecord -scanbus should work just fine... _________________ Kyle |

The rule in menu.lst that looks like this: Code: | kernel /boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda3 | (You probably have another number after hda), should become this Code: | kernel /boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda3 append="hdc=ide-scsi" vga=773 |

I'm pretty sure this isn't true. I have mixed cdroms on my system - one dvd drive using the ide bus, and a burner running in scsi emulation. Both work fine.
