2006-03-02 Thread Wes Gray
I've been researching getting my camera to work and I have a few questions. I'm running udev and kernel 2.6.15.1. 1) For USB mass storage to work do I still need SCSI emulation or does udev remove that requirement? 2) If so do I still need to pass the kernel parameter hdc=ide-scsi? 3)

I added an extra IDE controller card so I could get a 5th drive. It's a Silicon Image chipset (CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SIIMAGE). When I boot into the kernel with the module included the kernel sees the IDE channels on the new card as the first ones and the existing IDE channels on my motherboard as the

Something I did caused sound to quit working. On starting KDE I get an error about /dev/dsp missing. It might have been caused by me setting RC_DEVICE_TARBALL to no in /etc/conf.d/rc, but I set it back to yes and it didn't help. Thanks in advance for the help. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing
