The original Montego was based on the 8820 chip, but wasn't the Montego II
based on the 8830? I'm not certain, so check your card. An 8830 based card
requires
make install
rather than
make install20

You can't have a CD/RW as hdd - and you already told conf.modules to
ignore it. But you also need to tell linux that it should emulate a SCSI
device for this hardware instead. Read the HOWTO and you see where to
place a line in lilo.conf with for instance:
append="hdd=ide-scsi"
On my RH6.2 system with RH's kernel 2.2.16-4 the modules for scsi_mod
and sr_mod are NOT modular - they are commonly used and thus precompiled
into the kernel as delivered by RH. I believe the same approach was used
in the vanilla RH6.2. kernel. That is why you don't find them as modules
in the SCSI dir.
What i'm saying is that you probably compiled a new kernel in vain. I
did the same mistake before i realized that all i needed was already
precompiled into the kernel - or existed as loadable modules.

I'm looking for recommendations for a cd writer that's known to work

I'm assuming there's some good cd writing software for linux. Let me

Any comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I just installed redhat7 on my server at home. I've got a SIIG udma66
and a Promise Ultra100 in it.
The install recognized the SIIG, but not the Promise card:
AEC6210: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 70
AEC6210: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
AEC6210: ROM enabled at 0xfebf8000
ide2: BM-DMA at 0xef50-0xef57, BIOS settings: hde:pio, hdf:pio
ide3: BM-DMA at 0xef58-0xef5f, BIOS settings: hdg:pio, hdh:pio
It looks as though Redhat did not apply the ide kernel patches
so that an initial install will recognize the Promise.
If I'm correct about this, I'm severely disappointed with them.
I'm trying to compile a fresh 2.2.16 or 2.2.17 on it now, and
I'm getting tons of errors trying to make bzImage with
either - whether patched with the ide patches or not.

In my experience, Imwheel is a bitch to configure, and there is no need
to as RH6.2, Gnome and xfree supports it fairly well.

I've noticed a couple of (possibly unrelated) things, since yesterday.
Performing 'lspci -vv' before inserting the aic7xxx module produces:
00:0b.0 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec 7892A (rev 02)
Subsystem: Unknown device 9005:62a0
Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr-

<TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR+
Latency: 40 min, 25 max, 32 set, cache line size 08
Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 11
BIST result: 00
Region 0: I/O ports at 6c00
Region 1: Memory at eb000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable)
Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 2
Flags: PMEClk- AuxPwr- DSI- D1- D2- PME-
Status: D0 PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME-
Firstly, the 66MHz bit appears to be set in status. Aren't PCI cards
supposed to clock at 33MHz? If it was running at twice the clock speed,
shouldn't I be seeing flames by now? :)
Secondly, the PERR bit is set. Does this suggest a problem with my pci
bus?
Attempting to mimic the aic7xxx driver, I tried writing the Status
register value to itself using setpci. The PERR flag stays reset for a
couple of seconds, then returns to set again. After setting SERR in
Control, the SERR bit in Status behaves in the same manner as
PERR. Setting ParErr in Control has no effect and ParErr in Status is
never set. What's the difference between PERR and ParErr?
Predictably, inserting the aic7xxx module with the appropriate
debugging messages enabled, yields lots of warnings about PERR being
enabled.
Not that it matters but ... The windows drivers for the card came with
a software drive activity 'LED' program. This seems to flicker
constantly regardless of drive activity. Could this be interrupts
generated by PERR being serviced?
Worryingly, the PERR Status bit in my host bridge also seems to be set
- again, writing to Status will temporarily reset it. Is this bad?

Which version of gcc is included with RedHat 7.0? Maybe your compiler is

Any newer version of gcc should probably be able to compile 2.2.16.
Howerver if it says something about egcs it is not considered stable and

Hi there,
unfortunately I have no idea about your tapedrive but have some experience in
this area.
First of all most drives have dip switches and some of them control
compression. You need
check tape drive manual for this subject. For example HP DDS drives have dip
switch which
will say to drive switch into compression mode on power on. Except of that you
can control
compression in Linux trough "mt" command - check man page for your
distribution. And last
one for "dump" you should pass as arguments length of tape in blocks and
preferable block
size - tape in most cases can not report it's length. (There are some tapes
which have buildin
memory microchip which keep information about content of the tape at which
block starts
each file, length of the file, tape usage and so on... but it is very
expencive and very fast
drives for enterprise solutions). Normaly tapes recognized by holes in tape
cartrige - some
report length like in case Seagetes 8mm helical drives, some reports types
like in case of
HP DDS drives- tape reports that it or DDS1 or DDS2 or DDS3 or DDS4 but non of
them
report "please, switch compression". Compression conrolled by dip switches or
by software
- check this part for your drive.

I have a 2x phillips IDE and it doesn't take 75 minutes and the
buffers are always at least 90% full even when I load up my
system.
Mebbe you should try burning images with just cdrecord itself and
see how that works out. Although, nothing has changed in the
cdrecord interface and xcdroast is pretty solid: so I wouldn't expect
there to be software issues here.
That and I thought using SCSI burners was supposed to be LESS
problematic...
