Okay, I've been working on this for many, many hours and I think I'm going nuts.
I'm followind the instructions at:
http://www.linuxhq.com/ldp/howto/CD-Writing-HOWTO-2.html#ss2.1
I'm adding the module on with modprobe, so I'm following this set of
instructions on the page (I also have another ide regular CDRom drive too):
options ide-cd ignore=hdd # tell the ide-cd module to ignore hdd
alias scd0 sr_mod # load sr_mod upon access of scd0
#pre-install ide-scsi modprobe imm # uncomment for some ZIPdrivesonly
pre-install sg modprobe ide-scsi # load ide-scsibefore sg
pre-install sr_mod modprobe ide-scsi # loadide-scsi before sr_mod
pre-install ide-scsi modprobe ide-cd # load ide-cd before ide-scsi
Listing: Example configuration for /etc/modules.conf
Okay, so I put that in /etc/modules.conf and I also added insmod sg and insmod
ise-scsi to my boot.local (again, using SuSE 6.4, kernel 2.2.14).
When I boot up, it does NOT ignore hdd, still lists it as my CDRW. I DO get
a message in dmesg saying that 1 scsi was added for ATAPI CDRW support, about
3/4 the way through boot up. When I try to access scd0, it tells me it's not
there. I don't have any other scsi devices, so I'm loading scsi support just for
this.
Do Ineed scsi_mod.o? Any other scsi driver? Right now just loading sg.o.
I'm very new to all of this but I want very much to get this right. Any hints
on what I'm doing wrong would be wonderful. I'm not even sure how I'm supposed
to access the drive once I get it working.
I DID manage to make my image file of debian (something else I was majorly
screwing up), so once I get the drive working, I should be able to burn myself
the debian copy I need.
Thanks for any insight!
