In the instructions for LILO and 2.4 you will see a kernel parameter for
SCSI emulation for the writer(s). You can add the same parameter to GRUB
if you need it.

SCSI emulation is not required in v2.6. Whether you use GRUB or LILO, you
don't need the emulation parameter. If you have it and you upgrade from
2.4 to 2.6, remove it.
