hi,
i've been trying to get scsi emulation working. i've compiled and
installed my own custom kernel the debian way and i enabled the
following as modules: ide-cd, scsi_mod, sr_mod, sg, and ide-scsi. i've
also added a file called ide-cd to /etc/modutils with the following in
it:
options ide-cd ignore='hdc hdd'
and then i ran update-modules. also added append="hdc=ide-scsi" to
/etc/lilo.conf and ran lilo and rebooted. however, when i reboot i don't
get the nice ide-scsi setup i expect, instead i get a bunch of ugly
messages to the tune of the following:
scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 0, scsi0, channel 0, id 0,
lun 0 In
quiry 00 00 00 ff 00

hdc: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
hdc: ATAPI reset complete
hdc: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
hdc: status timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
and so on...
can anyone tell me why this is happening. i read somewhere that it could
be the computer overheating, so i turned it off for a few hours and
tried again, still no luck...
thanks to anyone who can solve this, it's driving me nuts!
