SCSI emulation is used for IDE CDs. You need the sg, sr_mod, scsi_mod
and ide-scsi modules, and you need to tell your kernel to use ide-scsi
for your CD. If, for example, your CD is hdc, pass "hdc=ide-scsi" to
the kernel at boot time - add it to the "kernel" line in grub.conf:
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.20-30.7.legacycustom)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-30.7.legacycustom ro root=/dev/hda1
hdc=ide-scsi
or add "append hdc=ide-scsi" in lilo.conf:
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-3
label=linux
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.18-3.img
read-only
root=/dev/hda1
append hdc=ide-scsi
Cheers,
John
