in /etc/modules.conf the only scsi line I have: alias scsi_hostadapter off I am not sure what it means I have a scsi card (adaptec) & cd (&writer) are all scsi should I put the # sign in front?? piet Ewan Leith wrote:
I get the sam paride message, its because as wolfie suggested youve probably set ide-scsi somewhere.
The place that it is normally set is in /etc/lilo.conf file - edit it as root, and look for a line like this:
append="hdb=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi"
if you put a # at the front of the line so you get:
#append="hdb=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi"
then (again as root) type "mk_initrd" followed by "lilo" at the command prompt, then reboot, you should have a normal CDrom drive back again.
I can't really think why you would want to do it though, unless you have removed the cd writer.

hi wolfi,
you are one of these reliable contributers I hoped would react, and here you are! thanks but I can't remember what I typed, it must have been some time ago... when doing xcdroast and check ctrl-alt f10 I get things like: paride something... no atapi device etc. does that help? I will follow you're suggestions asap

Don't be to harsh on me! I am just a user of a computer and not a whiz... I have a plextor (scsi) cd burner stupid enough some time ago I typed something which changed my kernel 2.4-16 to believe I have a atapi device I want to use as scsi (or something like that) but I don't need that how can I reverse this? piet
Hi Piet,
WHAT ... did you type and where?
So ... (1) maybe you included ide-scsi in your initrd_modules. Then use YaST, system administration, change configuration file, initrd_modules, remove ide-scsi, and after that run mk_initrd and lilo from konsole.
Or (2), you included ide-scsi in your /etc/modules.conf. Then edit this file, search for a line saying: alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi and change it to: # alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi
Or (3), you have included hdx=ide-scsi in your lilo append line, then remove it there, using YaST.
I am really comparatively unsure where your problem is lying, so please check these three items and give us more details in your next post.
