Subject: scsi host emulation From: Nick Thompson <nickthompson@lucent.com> Date: Wed, 05 Jan 2000 09:57:20 +0000 Hi, (RH6.0 Kernel 2.2.5-15) Santa brought me a Ricoh 7060A ATAPI CD-RW for Christmas :-) It worked straight away as a CD-ROM device using the ide-cd module as device /dev/hdc, but I'd like to use cdrecord and so I'm setting it up to be driven by ide-scsi. cdrecord now sees the drive as the second device on scsibus0 and I can mount the device at /dev/scd0 to access CD-ROMs. Two questions though: 1) I have to manually load ide-scsi (modprobe ide-scsi). How can I make this happen on demand or at startup? 2) An unexpected (by me :) side effect is that my ATAPI ZIP drive (was /dev/hdd) is now seen by cdrecord as the first device on scsibus0. I can't mount /dev/hdd4 anymore, but I'm happy to switch to a scsi device if that will work. What device should I be trying to mount? Do I need any other driver modules loaded and do I need to tell any driver to ignore hdd? ====== Subject: Re: scsi host emulation From: lloy0076 <lloy0076@rebel.net.au> Date: Wed, 05 Jan 2000 23:00:02 +1030 ROFL I have the same problem. I made a horrid kludge: 1) I added the modprobe to /etc/rc.d/local 2) I just accepted the fact that it hijacked my other drive to There is a way to do it in conf.modules but I can never get that to work. ===
