[SLUG] ide cd-writer
hi all, I have here a reco mp70-40a 4x ide cd-writer. I'm attempting to run it on debian woody. how does one set up scsi emulation for this device? any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance. btw. how should I enter in the information in /etc/fstab? -- Shaun Oliver Becareful of the toes u step on today, they maybe connected to the ass you have to kiss tomorrow!

You need SCSI configured, and SCSI CD support, then you can choose the IDE-SCSI driver. I think you need to specify something like append hdc=ide-scsi to your lilo.conf or grub menu.lst to tell the kernel that your hdc device is not to be touched by the ide-cd driver, and instead let ide-scsi take care of it. Once that's done, you can use /dev/scd0 as your cdrom device. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://spacepants.org/jaq.gpg -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

Aside from /proc/bus/usb I don't have anything in fstab for my burner, but mine's attached via USB, so it isn't always there. In lilo, I have: append=hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi hdc is the on-board ide CD ROM, hdd is the external ide-cdrw-in-a-USB-enclosure. The source needs to be scsi-emulated too, or some of the burning programs won't do CD to CD copies. ganesha:/etc# cat modules # /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time. # # This file should contain the names of kernel modules that are # to be loaded at boot time, one per line.

There is a HOWTO on this. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance. btw. how should I enter in the information in /etc/fstab? Also, you may need to do a kernel upgrade. I recently asked this question and Ken Caldwell posted what he did to get it working under Debian Woody. I really should have posted to the list anyway. This is what I wrote: quote who=Terry Collins 8--- I do not have the ide-cd.o module on my system anywhere. I was wondering where it comes from (source). The problem is I am trying to get a IDE CD-burner working on the Debian system and without this module, I can not access the other CD drive. Usual stuff, which I have done before, but this time, that module is missing. Hi Terry, I rebuilt my Woody box this morning. You are right the default kernel 2.4.18bf does not support a CD burner. I think you may be wrong about the reason though. What I did was to run modconf and install the sg module. (you need both the sg and ide-scsi modules but the ide-scsi module was listed as having already been installed. I then cd to the /dev directory and rm cdrom followed by ln -s scd0 cdrom This was insufficient to get cdrecord working so I did aptitude install kernel-image-2.4.18-1-386 and rebooted using that kernel. I am burning a CD using the box (not this box) as I type. I will be out for an hour or so but will be home later this afternoon or this evening. Feel free to 'phone if you have a problem. cheers, Ken -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
Re: [SLUG] ide cd-writer
I'm sure there are a couple of different ways to handle this. I did it through recompiling the kernel with: no support for IDE CD devices support for SCSI CD support for SSCI gerneric devices support for IDE-SCSI emulation worked on reboot, fstab just needed to be modified to /dev/scd0 /cdrom Regards Brett Ken Caldwell wrote: quote who=Terry Collins Shaun Oliver wrote: hi all, I have here a reco mp70-40a 4x ide cd-writer.
