I can't get scsi emulation to work in 7.1.
I appended hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi in lilo, i added modprobe ide-scsi
to /etc/rc.d/boot.local, as suggested in the book.
Dmesg:
<(scsi0) <Adaptec AHA-294X Ultra SCSI host adapter> found at PCI 0/13/0
<(scsi0) Narrow Channel, SCSI ID=7, 16/255 SCBs
<(scsi0) Cables present (Int-50 NO, Ext-50 NO)
<(scsi0) Downloading sequencer code... 422 instructions downloaded
Best tech support is when you solve your problems yourself... I recompiled the kernel without ATAPI CDROM support . Minor gripe: what is stated in the configuration manual does not work, which is definitely wrong, as is the suggestion to load the ide-scsi modules by editing /SBIN/rc.d/boot.local. Whare does advice like this leave real newbies (I am an experienced newbie, I suppose, having been with SuSE since 5.3), particularly since the manual insists that "Just to prove that Linux is not really as complicated as it's sometimes made out , we'll go through this emulation together". Or maybe that's what it was: scsi emulation configuration emulation... : it looks like the real thing, tastes like the real thing, it even smells like the real thing, but it does not work...

So the module is loaded, but cdrecord -scanbus only finds the scanner.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
ps I've been using scsi emulation since suse 6.0, mostly without problems, so I don't understand why it should not work this time.

Hi, If you had only checked the support database: http://sdb.suse.de/sdb/en/html/mkrapp-cdr-7.1.html -- Nadeem Hasan nhasan@nadmm.com http://www.nadmm.com/ FX Fraipont wrote:

First place to look when you have problems is the Support Knowledge Base. http://sdb.suse.de/sdb/en/html/SUSE.71.html Support knowledgebase (mkrapp-cdr-7.1)Applies to SuSE Linux: Version 7.1 Request: You want to configure your EIDE cd-writer as describe in the Configuration Manual, but can't find the file "boot.local". Procedure: The SuSE Linux Bootkonzept has changed and therefore the path to boot.local is no longer valid. The file/sbin/init.d/boot.local is located in:/etc/init.d/boot.local There you may add the entry described in the manual (/sbin/modprobe ide-scsi) John............ Contentment is not the fulfillment of what you want, but the realization of how much you already have.
