 |
|
Hi, just a quick simple question.
I got a cd burner in my system. Actually i only got one cd drive in my system
when I compile support for it in the kernel what do i do with IDE CD-Rom support - i have it selected and also enabled SCSI emulation and SCSI CD-Rom support
then do you just add the hdc-scsi parameter to the kernel line in fstab?
I emerged arson, but it indicates that no cd burners are on my system
wondering what may be wrong? Do I need to remove IDE-CDRom support?
and also, what would the new cdrom be referred to as? right now it is using the default from fstab that mounts the cdrom... /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 i think
thanx |

What is "hdc-scsi" ?
You have to pass "hdc=ide-scsi" as a kernel option in your /boot/grub/grub.conf (or menu.lst) and not fstab :
| Code: | | kernel /boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda8 hdc=ide-scsi |
This would create a device named /dev/sr0
If you want to create a link /dev/scd0 -> /dev/sr0, just add the following lines in your /etc/devfsd.conf :
| Code: | # Create /dev/scd0 for the first cdrom on the scsi bus
# (change 'sr0' to suite your setup)
LOOKUP ^scd0$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink sr0 scd0
REGISTER ^sr0$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink $devname scd0
UNREGISTER ^sr0$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL unlink scd0 |

Also, my understanding is that development kernels after 2.5.48 no longer
requires the hdx=ide-scsi line in the boot loader. I don't run one myself
because I'm too concerned of things like catastrophic data loss, 
but if you have nothing to lose, it might be easier to set up.
