Re: [Ltsp-discuss] How to config IDE Cdwriter

[Stephen Liu]

Hi Dragosh,

My /boot/grub/menu.1st looks as follow;
(remark: it differs from yours without /boot in front of /vmlinuz-2.4.18-3)

.....
......
#boot=/dev/hde
default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-3)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-3 ro root=/dev/hde2
initrd /initrd-2.4.18-3.img

I edited it as follow;
....
........
#boot=/dev/hde
default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-3)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-3 ro root=/dev/hde2 hdd=ide-scsi #<--
initrd /initrd-2.4.18-3.img

rebooted the computer but still it could not work

cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open SCSI driver.
cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are root.

Hi Dragosh,

Thanks for your advice.

I am using Grub.

As root, I made following change

edit    /etc/grub.conf
add    append="hdd=ide-scsi"  at the bottom
(Cdwriter as secondary slave)

New  /etc/grub.conf  looked as follow
default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-3)
   root (hd0,0)
   kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-3 ro root=/dev/hde2
   initrd /initrd-2.4.18-3.img
   append="hdd=ide-scsi"

Well with grub things are a bit different. Note that I used it just once
so I'm not completely sure that what I'm saying is actually what you
should do ;)

You don't need to write the append line, just modify /boot/grub/menu.lst
from:
-----/boot/grub/menu.lst--------
default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-14)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-14 ro root=LABEL=/
initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.18-14.img
-----/boot/grub/menu.lst--------

to:

-----/boot/grub/menu.lst--------
default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-14)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-14 ro root=LABEL=/ hdd=ide-scsi #<--
initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.18-14.img
-----/boot/grub/menu.lst--------

this file is automagically read by grub when it starts, you don't need
to execute any other command, you could also enter in command line mode
when grub starts ("e" did the trick as far as I recall) and complete the
kernel .. line with hdd=ide-scsi, save it, and boot.
Try this for now, hopefully it'll work.



Best Regards,

Dragosh M.
