I'm having big troubles when I try to use my ide CD burner with scsi emulation.
(Question #1 : is it true we have to use scsi emulation in order to burn CDs with a IDE cd burner ?)
The problems begin when the system tries to load the ide-scsi module (when I manually load it with modprobe, when I run cdrecord -scanbus, when I try to mount a CD, etc...). As soon as the module is needed, the system enters an infinite loop :
syslog shows me this:
kernel: scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 0, scssi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 Inquiry 00 00 00 ff 00
hdc: lost interrupt
kernel: ide-scsi: The scsi wants to send us more data than expected - discarding data
kernel: ide-scsi: [[ 12 0 0 0 ff 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ]
kernel: ]
kernel: ide-scsi: expected 256 got 352 limit 256
kernel: hdc: lost interrupt
kernel: ide-scsi: The scsi wants to send us more data than expected - discarding data
kernel: ide-scsi: [[ 12 0 0 0 ff 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ]
kernel: ]
[... endless loop]
Here is my configuration:
I have 2 hard drives (hda, hdb) on bus ide0 I have 1 Samsung SW-240B CD burner (hdc) on bus ide1
I use Debian Sid, kernel 2.4.22 with this compilation options :
loopback device support : M scsi support (scsi_mod) : M scsi cdrom support (sr_mod) : M scsi generic support (sg) : M scsi emulation support (ide-scsi) : M include atapi-cdrom (ide-cd) : M iso9660 cdrom FS : M microsoft joliet cdrom : Y
I have these lines in modules.conf:
alias scd0 sr_mod #load sr_mod upon access of scd0 alias scd1 sr_mod alias scd2 sr_mod alias scd3 sr_mod pre-install sg modprobe ide-scsi #load ide-scsi before sg pre-install sr_mod modprobe ide-scsi #load ide-scsi before sr_mod pre-install ide-scsi modprobe ide-cd #load ide-cd before ide-scsi
I've added append "hdc=ide-scsi" in lilo.conf:
image=/vmlinuz
label=Linux
append="hdc=ide-scsi acpi=off"
read-only
# restricted
# alias=1Question #2 : I've read contradictory things about "hdc=ide-scsi". Some people say that this line is useless when compiling ide-scsi as a module. Some people says you HAVE TO put it there anyway. And some people say that the correct syntax for the latest kernels is
"hdX=scsi" instead of "hdX=ide-scsi".
I don't know who/what to believe.
Now, let's take an example of what happens in my system:
When I boot my linux, syslog shows me this :
[...]

[...]
There is no indication about scsi emulation (excepted the first line).
Question #3 : is it normal ?
Then, I put an audio CD in my drive I try to mount the filesystem :
mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /cdburner
And there the system HANGS !
I open a new console and read syslog again to see what is going on:
kernel: SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00
kernel: hdc: attached ide-scsi driver.
kernel: scsi0 : SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI ddevices

kernel: ide-scsi: The scsi wants to send us more data than expected - discarding data
kernel: ide-scsi: [[ 12 0 0 0 ff 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ]
[... endless loop]
Question #4 : how can I exit this loop without having to reboot (I'm getting tired of it?)
Then, I have a look at the loaded modules:
# lsmod Module Size Used by Not tainted ide-scsi 10320 2 (initializing) ide-cd 32352 0 scsi_mod 85504 1 (autoclean) [ide-scsi] cdrom 28512 0 (autoclean) [ide-cd] [...]
They have all been loaded after the mount command. ide-scsi remains in the "initializing" state, so I can't do anything...
Just by curiosity:
# cat /proc/scsi/scsi Attached devices: Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: Model: Rev: Type: <NULL> ANSI SCSI revision: ffffffff
Now, I don't know where to search anymore, I've spent hours looking at posts and searching in google, I've tried lots of diferent things (recompiling the kernel with differnt options, etc...).
I need help !
Thanks to all of you who can help me.

PS one more thing : my cd burner does work (I've just tested it under windows to check... and it works !)
