Subject: SCSI emulation on SuSE 7.0
Date: Fri, 30 Mar 2001 03:25:36 GMT

Hello Again;
        I have an IDE burner ( HP CDWriter+ ) and would like to use it in
Linux. I have gone through the directions in the SuSE Linux 7.0 Personal
edition 'Configuration' manual on page 122, and adjusted the item 'Append
line for hardware parameter' in 'LILO' and altered the file
'/etc/modules.conf'/ , but the emulation does not work. All I have done is
removed my CD burner as a CDRom.
        My CD Burner is on ide1 slave with a CDRom as master. 
        I added 'hdd=ide-scsi' to 'Apend line for hardware parameter' and
saved my changes and exited 'YaST'.
        I changed the line 'alias scsi_hostadapter off' to 'alias
scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi' in the file/etc/modules.conf'.
        Thats all the manual says to do, but when I try to 'Configure'
'X-CD-Roast' it does not see the 'ide-scsi' drive emulation.
        What have I missed?
        Thanks in advance.

   I have two physical disks, one with linux (redhat 7) at /dev/hdc1 and 
one with NT at /dev/hda1. I can boot into linux fine with the rescue disk 
but LILO hangs (stops after the first L) when trying to boot from the 
hard drive. I checked the docs and it tells me that there should be an 
error code when it stops after the first L, like L<err number>. There is 
no error number, just a computer pretending to be a paperweight. Any 
ideas?

The compressed image is just over 600k -

However dmesg tells me the kernel occupies 878k of RAM -

Then there is the cumulative memory usage of the kernel modules -

The compressed archive is just over 20 MB:

However the directory it creates when uncompressed is much larger:

# du -sk linux
133632  linux

So the answer could be anywhere from 600k to 130 MB depending
on what you mean by "Linux" -

Great!  What is it and how does it work?

I already used rawrite to make a boot disk, and that didn't work.  I'll try
anything once.  Well, almost anything!

Sure, for each single occurrence the amount of time is small. But it adds up. Some 
people do not want to be bothered with the silly rules that others make up for their 
own convenience. Some people have better things to do than to scroll around and trim 
postings. Listen, for you and I, trimming postings is a snap. But for many, many 
others it does take a lot of time and effort.

> Sure, the time is of value TO THEM, but that does not impart that it is valuable.

Sure it does. It's valuable to them. And really that's all that matters (to them). 
Where's your courtesy?

Everybody values things differently. Part of being polite is to recognize that while 
you may not value it, it may be very valuable to somebody else. Forcing your viewpoint 
of what is valuable or not on others, and lambasting them for their choices of what is 
valuable to them is by itself rude and inconsiderate.

No it is not relevant. People place more value on their time than to spend it 
painfully trimming things just to make you happy.

Because it is easy for them. Have you ever watched a person who types with two fingers 
searching for where the next letter is? Hey, to me playing guitar is easy. But I've 
been doing it for a while. I do recognize that for most people playing guitar is very 
difficult. You think everybody types like you. Your wrong!

Ah it's an "America, love it of leave it" attitude. You are the shining example of 
tolerance and understanding I see. You can continue to look at it as an excuse. I'm 
just trying to tell you what is. You can continue to ignore reality if you like.

It is an agreement by a bunch of people long ago. As such I would think that there are

The Internet is not a restaurant. Top posting is not the same as burping, etc.

Similar social conduct and conventions of behavior have been established in many 
social situations. And they are constantly changing and being challenged as society 
changes. Be they long hair of the 60's, strange clothing, body piercing, work attire, 
school uniforms, etc. We have seen many times that many of the "rules" or conventions 
are not necessary and that people want to be free to express themselves. I mean don't 
you often here of the concept often mentioned with the internet of information
freedom, etc. Why then do you hold so steadfastly to such restrictive and relatively 
arbitrary rules of conduct?

Floppies for boot images must be perfect (no bad sectors) because boot
data is written to them sequentially (no file system).  So 'format a: /u'
them in DOS or Windows first and make sure thay have no bad sectors.

And I believe that you have to use rawrite when booted to DOS (not a DOS
window or restart in DOS mode).  You may need to use your Win startup
floppy for that (or at least that is the only way I can boot to DOS with
Win98se).

PS: The boot floppy that came with my Mandrake 7.0 was bad and would not
boot, so I had to make another one.

I have not used 'talk' lately, but a free shell I am on uses 'ytalk' which
admin there says is better.  'ytalk username' to the other user that you
want to talk and what they should do to connect.  When you connect, it
comes up in a split screen so you type in the top half and other user is
bottom half.

AFAIK, LILO has a very hard time booting things that are not located on
/dev/hda or /dev/hdb.  This has to do with the peculiarities of the PC
BIOS--LILO uses the BIOS to read the kernel image, after all, and there
are some BIOSes that can only see hda and hdb.  Check
/usr/share/doc/packages/lilo/README very carefully.  If you have a FAT
partition anywhere on /dev/hda, you should be able to put the kernel
image on that and get things going, or you can switch hdc and hdb.  The
second option might be the best....

I tried to compile the source code (gnorpm-0.95.1-5.6x.src.rpm).
I got this:

The problem might be that ATAPI cdrom support is built into the kernel,
therefore ide-scsi does not work.

I had good results with both laptop and main pc by reconfiguring the
kernel with ATAPI cdrom as a module (in case I boot a different kernel)
and compile SCSI emulation (scsi-ide), SCSI support (scsi_mod) and SCSI
generic support (sg) into the kernel instead of modules.  SCSI cdrom
support can still be a module (sr_mod) which should autoload if you mount
your writer (/dev/scd#) as a cdrom.

Then see if it shows up in /proc/scsi/scsi when your reboot the new
kernel.
