No ide-scsi, no CD-RW
I have been trying to get a cd-rw drive working under Debian (Potato
2.2r3) with no success. I am beginning to suspect I am missing a
kernel module, but need advice in any case.
When I run xcdroast(0.96e) as root, I get to the setup window. When I check
SCSI-IDE Info, I see two SCSI devices (my scanner and a hard drive)
and two IDE devices (a hard drive and a Zip drive) But I do not see
my HP CD-RW drive(CD-Writer Plus 9500), so of course there is no
CD-Writer device to choose.
My lilo.conf looks like this:
boot=/dev/hda
delay=50
compact
vga=normal
image=/boot/vmlinuz
root=/dev/sda3
label=Linux
read-only
append="hdc=ide-scsi"
But apparently no ide-scsi module gets loaded, since the output of
lsmod shows only this:
Module Size Used by
ide-floppy 8532 0 (autoclean)
sg 11892 0
and trying 'insmod ide-scsi' yields:
insmod: ide-scsi: no module by that name found
I can find no module named ide-scsi.o anywhere on my system. What am
I missing? How can I get to this CD writer?
Many thanks,
andy
