Re: HP 9100 series cd -writer?



Thanks a lot for your message and for the others as well. Your advice is
quite the same as which was pointed by others to be found on
'cd-writing-HOWTO', but there wasn't all this info.

This is from /boot/config-2.2.17:

# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD_IDE is not set
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDISK=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDETAPE=m
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEFLOPPY=m
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDESCSI=m
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_CMD640=y
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_CMD640_ENHANCED is not set
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RZ1000=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEPCI=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA=y
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_OFFBOARD is not set
# CONFIG_IDEDMA_AUTO is not set
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_OPTI621 is not set
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_TRM290 is not set

These I couldn't find:

Do you mean here:
________

# Aliases to tell insmod/modprobe which modules to use
# lisäsin allaolevat
options ide-cd ignore=hdc            # tell the ide-cd module to ignore
hdc
alias scd0 sr_mod                    # load sr_mod upon access of scd0
pre-install sg     modprobe ide-scsi # load ide-scsi before sg
pre-install sr_mod modprobe ide-scsi # load ide-scsi before sr_mod
pre-install ide-scsi modprobe ide-cd # load ide-cd   before ide-scsi
# tähän asti
__________

To change into:
_________

# Aliases to tell insmod/modprobe which modules to use
# lisäsin allaolevat
# options ide-cd ignore=hdc            # tell the ide-cd module to ignore 
hdc
alias scd0 sr_mod                    # load sr_mod upon access of scd0
pre-install sg     modprobe ide-scsi # load ide-scsi before sg
pre-install sr_mod modprobe ide-scsi # load ide-scsi before sr_mod
# pre-install ide-scsi modprobe ide-cd # load ide-cd   before ide-scsi
# tähän asti
______________

Or which are the 'two lines'?

Now it looks like this. Is the line 'append="hdc=ide-scsi"' at the right
place?
___________

boot = /dev/hda
delay = 20
timeout = 500
prompt
  default = Linux
  vga = normal
  root = /dev/hda3
  read-only
lba32
install=/boot/boot.b
map=/boot/map
image = /vmlinuz
  label = Linux
append="hdc=ide-scsi"
image = /vmlinuz.old
  label = LinuxOLD
  optional
other = /dev/hda1
  label = win98
___________
After changing 'aliases' and changing lilo and running 'update-modules'
and running 'lilo'...  

It still doesn't work. When trying to install xcdroast it still
complaining: 'no generic scsi support'...

_________

Could I just change in the 

/boot/config-2.2.17

the line:
________

CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD=y
into
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD=m
________

and remove that 'append line in lilo'?
