Thanks!
Installing on a PowerMac/6500 with a TEAC SCSI CD-RW drive, I had to use the 2.4 kernel because the 2.6 kernel couldn't find a driver for the CD.Do you know which module you need for this CD-RW drive?
No. All I know is that it works fine with the 2.4 kernel. How can I find out?For what it's worth, the MacOS-9 Apple System Profiler says that it's a CD-W512B (rev 1.0E) manufactured by TEAC.
Also for what it's worth, when I boot the 2.6 kernel and let it run up thru "detect and mount CD-ROM", then switch to the F2 console and look in /proc and /dev, I do not see any indication of SCSI devices at all. In particular, nothing in /dev/scsi (the directory exists, but there's nothing in it) and nothing mentioning scsi in the /proc/ide subdirectory tree. The machine has a 4GB SCSI disc and an 80 GB IDE dsic, and, while the ide disc is visible at this time, the scsi disc is nowhere to be found (/dev/discs show no trace of it.) When I do "cat /proc/scsi/scsi" it does not list any attached devices (neither CD-ROM nor 4GB disc, nor anything else).
Enjoy! Rick
