I am rebuilding a 2.6.5 Debian system and everything is
working properly so far. The system had ext2 file systems and used
lilo and now has a ext3 journalling file system on the master drive.
It also uses the grub boot loader and appears to be healthy.
Before I rebuilt it, I used scsi emulation to make CD burning work and
have been lucky in that both a Sony and Plextor IDE drives have
not missed a beat when burning CD's. The lines in /etc/lilo.conf are:
append = "hdc=scsi"
append = "hdd=scsi"
A message that SCSI emulation is deprecated for CD burning
pops up, but I have also heard of problems if one uses /dev/cdrom so I
would like to continue to use scsi emulation as long as I use a 2.6
kernel.
Is there an equivalent grub configuration line for menu.lst
that does the same thing?
If I can't use scsi emulation any longer, will cdrecord and
cdparanoia actually work since they appear to rely on scsi protocols?
I did read the grub manual, but maybe missed the obvious.
Nothing jumped out at me.
When building the new system from the latest DEbian
distribution, I had a choice of grub or lilo but grub was the first
boot loader presented. Lilo fails to install so I went with grub
since that appears to be the general direction of progress.
Thanks for your ideas.
