Re: [gentoo-user] (URGENT) Installing CD Burner question

[Stephen Liu]

Hi Paul,

My Gentoo crashed.  Please see my previous posting.

Now I am answering your post from another PC

Did you modify your lilo or grub configuration?
 

NO

What happens is the IDE controller grabs the CD-R device and then the
ide-scsi mod can't access it.
You need to  add the 'hdX=scsi' (where X is the device letter) argument
at boot.
i.e my grub.conf reads
kernel=(hd1,0)/bzImage root=/dev/hdd hdc=ide-scsi
This tells the IDE controller not to touch hdc, which leaves it for the
ide-scsi mod to configure it.
 

Noted.  I will proceed after having the OS fixed.

Now I can't even shudown Gentoo
[root@(none) boot]# shutdown -h now
init: timeout opening/writing control channel /dev/initctl
Nor can I locate grub.conf
[root@(none) boot]# locate grub.conf
/usr/share/doc/grub-0.93.20030118/grub/conf/sample.gz
B.R.

Hi all folks,

Just added a IDE CD burner as slave

As root
# echo -e "ide-scsi\nsg\nsr_mod" >> /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4
# depmod
