Problem getting the pktcdvd driver as the right block driver for packet writing.
Dear list, I have trouble using the recent packet driver. I downloaded http://w1.894.telia.com/~u89404340/patches/packet/2.4/packet-2.4.21.patch.bz..., and used it to patch my kernel. I use Debian unstable, and compile my kernels with the Debian kernel-package utility. Almost all my drivers are compiled as modules, and I use the kernel module autoloader. At first, I saw the kernel trying to load the "pg" driver, which is the driver for generic access to parallel port IDE devices, and happens to be a character device, major 97 (the pktcdvd driver is a *block* device with major 97). I recompiled a kernel without parallel IDE modules. This time, when I try to "pktsetup /dev/graveur /dev/pktcdvd", I get an error : charpent@yod:~$ pktsetup /dev/graveur /dev/pktcdvd0 open cd-rom: No such device or address The syslog shows that the kernel complains that it doesn't know a block driver for major 97 : Jul 31 09:45:29 yod modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module block-major-97 The module can be manually inserted : yod:~# modprobe -v pktcdvd /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.4.21/kernel/drivers/block/pktcdvd.o Using /lib/modules/2.4.21/kernel/drivers/block/pktcdvd.o Symbol version prefix '' The syslog just says : Jul 31 10:06:24 yod kernel: pktcdvd: v0.0.2p 03/03/2002 Jens Axboe (axboe@suse.de) but I get the same error message as before whet trying to setup the packet writing device. However, this time, the syslog does not mention an error such as the first one (no driver for block-major-97) I am a bit at loss ... Could someone suggest a fix ?
