 |
|
| Ok back when I was still using Mandrake and just messing around with the gentoo install something happened to my cd drives. Suddenly one day running cdrecord scanbus gave me a cannot open scsi driver error. I looked in /proc/ide/hd*/driver and it comes back with ide-cdrom version 4.59. So suddenly the drives stoped going through the scsi emulation layer, and I don't know what to do. Any thoughts? |

Ok I figured out what's going on. I realized that it started happening right after I installed GRUB. I went back and installed Mandrake and LILO and went into Mandrake and sure enough cdrecord -scanbus brings up my cd burner the way it was before. It has something to do with the way the lilo.conf is set up:
| Code: |
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label="Mandrake"
root=/dev/hdb1
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append="devfs=mount [b]hdc=ide-scsi[/b] acpi=off quiet"
vga=788
read-only |
And it might have something to do with the may Mandrake wrote the fstab:
| Code: |
none /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/scd0, fs=auto, ro, --, iocharset=iso8859-1, codepage=850, umask = 0 0 0 |
Can GRUB be set up to do what the lilo.conf did, and would an fstab setting like that work? |
