 Posted: Wed Dec 04, 2002 4:55 pm Post subject: ide cdr scsi emulation stopped working |
 |
|
I compiled a new kernel, mjc-sources-2.4.20-r1, and after the reboot the scsi emulation for my ide cdr stopped working. I'm 100% sure I compiled this kernel with scsi support, scsi cd-rom support, scsi generic support and scsi emulation support, all compiled built-in. The emulation worked perfectly on my old kernel, gentoo-sources-2.4.19-r9. I didn't change anything about grub (meaning the line hdc=ide-scsi is still there). Please tell me what's wrong.
Thanks. |

Do you also have IDE-CD-Rom support compiled into your new kernel? You might want to take it out, according to the HELP information found inside the kernel with regard to the SCSI-Emulation it indicates that you MUST remove the IDE-CD-Rom support. From other posts though I know this is not ALWAYS the case, though you might still want to give it a shot. Also you should certainly reference this VERY extensive thread.

| But I have a normal cd-rom, don't I need IDE-CD-Rom support for it to work? |

No, and yes. The quick answer is no, you can remove IDE-CD-Rom support and your standard IDE CD-ROM will work with SCSI emulation as well. The very long winded answer is that yes you can get your CD-RW to be SCSI emulation and have your CD-ROM use IDE-CDROM support--IN SOME cases. I personally do not know of a case that you need to use anything other than SCSI-Emulation for all optical/CD drives. When you go into your kernel config check the help section for the SCSI Emulation and read what it says.

Thanks a lot for your replies, but I have been able to fix this in another way...
I compiled IDE CD-rom support, scsi support, scsi cd-rom support, scsi generic support and scsi emulation support all as modules and put:
ide-cd ignore=hdc
ide-scsi
sg
sr_mod
in /etc/modules.autoload and it works...  |

Good show! Thanks for posting your good results! I think that is what kerframil suggested in the thread I posted, isn't it? It certainly is a very precise and easy to follow solution, very straight-forward.
