xcdroast tapi/scsi problem.... can I be dumber?
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. Cheers ....

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 piet wolfi 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. Ewan On Sun, 2002-03-31 at 14:18, PR wrote:

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:

Well, in /etc/modules.conf your SCSI devices should be listed 'properly', this means, 'off' is certainly incorrect. On my box, I have the SCSI lines as follows: # alias scsi_hostadapter off alias scsi_hostadapter advansys alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi So, you should uncomment the 'off' line. In my case, I have got a SCSI scanner which is attached to a SCSI card which uses the advansys module. And I got an IDE burner which runs via the SCSI emulation, that's the next line. In your case you would presumably have to include lines like: # alias scsi_hostadapter off alias scsi_hostadapter adaptec in your /etc/modules.conf - I am not sure if the module, which is required by the adaptec card, is actually called adaptec, so this might vary:-) You don't need a line for the SCSI burner, if it is attached to this card! See my example above, the card is declared, and then the devices attached to this card (scanner, Microtek X6 in my case) are available. Cheers ...

but my scanner and harddisk (both scsi)are running ok so would it be save to make the changes?? piet wolfi wrote:
