I am trying to get a CD burner running on my Linux system. I've talked
to several people on the list privately, but I'm still stumpped.
os: was Red Hat 6.2 ( linux 2.2.14-5) I have been building kernels
with 2.2.18
hardware:
2 disk drives (one for linux, one for windoz)
2 cdroms (one read only, one burner) both are atapi/ide drives
the bios, and windoze and (before I started messing around) linux know
the second cdrom is there.
All of the cdburning software I know of will work only with a SCSI
burner, so I need to make it think the drive is scsi.
RedHat did not support scsi or ide-scsi as installed, so I have been
rebuilding kernels
I have ide_scsi, scsi_mod, sd_mod, sr_mod all installed. The module sg
will not load due to "unresolved sysmbol"
This is one possible problem. I've tried config_mod_versions set to
both no and yes and still get this error.
The second problem is that in bootup, the system assigns cd2 to
/dev/hdd. I need to be able to assign it to some scsi device. In the
Linux HOW-TOs, it discusses this problem and suggests a fix vi
lilo.conf. At the moment, I am not using lilo. As I create each new
kernel, I make bzdisk and then boot off the disk. Is there a way to
unassign and reassign the disk without using lilo? Or must I find a
stable kernel and write it to the hard disk?
any suggestions are welcome,
thanks,
kas
