I have one cd drive in my system, which is a SONY IDE CD-RW. I have a |
2 |
couple questions: there seem to be a lot of docs about this on the net, |
3 |
but there are a lot of differences. |
4 |
|
5 |
In my kernel, I have IDE-CD compiled in (as Y, not M), and I compiled scsi |
6 |
emulation as modules, so I have sg, sr_mod, and ide-scsi modules available |
7 |
to load. I don't want to recompile the kernel now to de-select ide-cd |
8 |
support or modularize it, so I am wondering how to beat it. |
9 |
|
10 |
I notice that my ide-scsi doesn't load at boot, even though I use a kernel |
11 |
boot parameter of "hdc=ide-scsi". My sg and sr_mod do load, but without |
12 |
ide-scsi running "cdrecord -scanbus" doesn't yield anything. When I |
13 |
insert the module myself from the terminal (/sbin/insmod ide-scsi), then |
14 |
cdrecord -scanbus reads "scsibus0: 0,0,0 0) 'SONY blah blah blah'", as it |
15 |
should. |
16 |
|
17 |
But, why doesn't my system load scsi emulation automatically, before |
18 |
ide-cd detects the drive, even with my kernel boot parameter? What can I |
19 |
do here? Redhat users can include "/sbin/insmod ide-scsi" into |
20 |
/etc/rc.local or something, but I am not sure what is the equivalent of |
21 |
this in Gentoo. Where can I stick this? |
22 |
|
23 |
Also, I do include various aliasing lines in /etc/modules.autoload, such |
24 |
as "alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi" and "alias scd0 sr_mod". |
25 |
|
26 |
I did uncomment lines appropriate for CD-RW in /etc/devfsd.conf, but do I |
27 |
need to make an entry in /etc/fstab what includes this "scsi" device, or |
28 |
will the line for cdrom automatically take care of that? |
29 |

Any help appreciated. Thanks! |
