In case you aren't using lilo and are using Grub (as most red hat
systems do) here is an example section from my /etc/grub.conf (it's from
red hat 9 but i think they are close enough):
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.20-9)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-9 ro root=LABEL=/ hdd=ide-scsi
initrd /initrd-2.4.20-9.img
it's the same as james said,just looks a little different in grub.
obviously adjust your settings to reflect your system and still do all
the other stuff he mentioned ...
i'm curious - doesn't the red hat kernel install with scsi-emulation
built in? or is that only if it sees a burner on install?
