A lot of good tips here, but unless your afraid of compiling your own kernel, what ALWAYS works best for me is to do the following in the kernel config:
Under IDE/ATA device support: no support ide cdrom's support for scsi emulation * Under SCSI device support: scsi device support on * scsi cdrom support on * scsi generic support on * *==compiled into the kernel, ala, no modules. recompile kernel and boot from. you should see everything detected fine from boot. Seems to be the cleanest way for me, rather than having to mess with grub.conf. *shrug* Paul On Fri, 2003-11-07 at 07:32, Karl-Heinz Zimmer wrote: > Hi, > > my old Acer TravelMate 260 makes a problem with Gentoo: the DVD/CD combo > drive (DVD/CD reader + CD burner) is not detected completely. > > Starting k3b-setup I get told that there is no writer, but only a reader. > > Following the advise given there, I added "modprobe ide-scsi" to some > file in /etc/modules.d/ and started modules-update, went fine. > > Now I would like to tell the kernel about my SCSI whishes: normally > I would just add a > append = "hdc=ide-scsi" > to my /etc/lilo.conf - but Gentoo is using Grub, so where/how could I > add these parameters now? > > TIA, > Karl-Heinz -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
