Re: scsi emulation for CD burner

2003-11-20 Thread Alf Werder
hat way, that the scsi emulation layer is loaded into the kernel only when needed. That is the reason, that scsi is not mentioned at system boot time. I did not manage to get that thing going, although I see no reason, why that schould be impossible. Try to load all modules you need (scsi_mod, sr_mod, sg, ide_scsi, etc.) at boot time, by putting them into '/etc/modules'. (4) Maybe unloading all scsi modules will help you to avoid a reboot, but I never tried this (I always did reboot :-() What looks really strange to me, is the loaded module 'ide-cd'. Judge me wrong, but I think that that is the thing, you want to replace by ide-scsi. I strongly suggest to unload 'ide-cd' Hope that helped a bit. -alf -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
