Here is a good question. I am trying to get generic Sarge 2.4.26 system to recognise and configure IDE CD-writer and CD-reader at a startup using ide-scsi emulation as described in file:///usr/share/doc/cdrecord/README.ATAPI.setup
/boot/grub/menu.lst title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.4.26-1-686 root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.26-1-686 root=/dev/sda5 ro hda=ide-scsi hdc=ide-scsi ??????????? What is for max_scsi_luns=1" System has internal SCSI drive and 2 IDE cdroms. What should be a max_scsi_luns? initrd /initrd.img-2.4.26-1-686 savedefault boot Lsmod shows that after reboot both cdrom and ide-cd modules are running I can mount CDROMS to /dev/hdx. I have /dev/scdX setup properly. Mounting of /dev/scdX fails, "dmesg shows that ise-scsi emulation does not work. The only way I can make ide-scsi emulation to work is to disable and enable modules by running a script as follows: # To activate scsi emulation ( enable CDWR support execute as # user root). You need to do after a reboot. Login as root copy and paste into a terminal window and press Enter. # write to a tmp file cat > /tmp/tmp_enable_scsi << EOF rmmod ide-cd rmmod cdrom rmmod ide-scsi rmmod sg insmod sg insmod ide-scsi insmod cdrom insmod sr_mod EOF # source the tmp files so all commands get executed source /tmp/tmp_enable_scsi # # remove tmp file /bin/rm /tmp/tmp_enable_scsi # # check that both cd and cdrw are emulated as scsi cdrecord -scanbus Ide-scsi is configured and I can write cd. Q. Why ide-cd and cdrom modules start on reboot? How do I make it to work in debian way "just works". I figured out which modules to disable and to enable and I am happy to run my script script, but my users find it difficult. I will eventually migrate to 2.6 but I cannot do it now. Could this be because I have discover1 installed or something similar that tries to reconfigure my kernel modules?
