Was the ide-scsi module loaded? Try adding ide-scsi to the INITRD line in /etc/sysconfig/kernel file and running mk_initrd
I don't have that file (/etc/sysconfig/kernel). Nor can I find a file named "kernel" anywhere else that looks like a configuration file or a set of boot instructions.
Ah, yes, that's because I'm either an idiot or blind or (not unlikely) both :) Only now did I realise that the subject was "on 7.1". sysconfig/kernel didn't appear until 8.0. My bad.
What I have done (due to written instructions) is added "/sbin/modprobe ide-scsi" to the end of the file /etc/init.d/boot.local.
That should be enough, yes.
When I use the test script from the CD-RW How-to, it seems to think I have /can load/have loaded (?) the module as I get the following message.
Using /lib/modules/2.4.2/kernel/drivers/scsi/ide-scsi.o
After I do this test, (1) YaSt is now able to see the installation medium and (2) I am suddenly able to mount the CD (as /cdrom, but still not as /cdrecorder):
Pre-test:
csmiller@elfenix:~ > mount /cdrom mount: /dev/cdrom: unknown device
Post-test:
elfenix:~ > mount /cdrom elfenix:~ > umount /cdrom elfenix:~ > mount /cdrecord mount: can't find /cdrecord in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
(But /cdrecord IS in /etc/fstab.)
I take it that what you are telling me I should do is to somehow make sure my system loads this ide-scsi module.
If you can mount /cdrom then ide-scsi is loaded. You can double check with lsmod | grep ide-scsi but it should be loaded. As for /cdrecord, in your previous mail you called it /cdrecorder and not /cdrecord. Check which it should be. Anders
