[SLE] succesfull configuration of CD-writer
My HP-8100 CD-RW is burning CD's, and I am also using xmcd to play music CD's on my CD-ROM. Thanks a lot to the list memebers, and in particular to Jon Pennington and David Bellows for very helpful responses. The following is a summary, in case anybody is interested on what I did. 0. My hardware: an HP-8100 (the cd writer) and a Toshiba XM-6202BH; both IDE devices, with the HP as master, on the secondary IDE controller (also have two HD's, IDE, on the primary IDE controller). 1. Compile the kernel: basically following the CDwriting-HOWTO, with the modification by David Bellows, which I reproduce below (hope that's OK, David): "Except note that I mentioned getting rid of all IDE CD support asopposed to their advice of modularizing - as I said, you don't need it. Doing the above should get your CDR/rom detected properly by your kernel. In /etc/fstab I have the following lines: /dev/scd1 /cdrom iso9660 ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0 /dev/scd0 /cdrom0 iso9660 ro,noauto,user 0 0 You'll notice that my scd1 is mounted at cdrom - that's because it is the CDrom and it reads faster and so I use it for installing software and playing audio cds (easier to link things like that to /dev/cdrom - more standard I suppose). I'm not sure why I have the options (ro,user,...) set differently for each one, but they both seem to work properly (any advice here would be appreciated though)." Actually, my options are different /dev/scd0 /cdrom0 iso9660 ro,noauto,user 0 0 /dev/scd1 /cdrom iso9660 ro,noauto,user 0 0 2. I also added the following to my /etc/modules.conf: #alias scsi_hostadapter off # the above turned off for CD-writing alias scd0 sr_mod alias scd1 sr_mod alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi options ide-cd ignore=hdc #CD-write & scsi emulation options ide-cd ignore=hdd # as above 3. I did not add the line append="hdc=ide-scsi" to the lilo.conf; I guess I don't need it because there is no longer any IDE CD support. 4. When compiling the kernel, make sure that multi-lun and logging are turned off; you can check the options appropriate options when, say,runing xconfig, or you can directly modify the file /usr/src/linux/.xconfig; the following is a sample from Jon Pennington; yours might look different: they key are multi-lun and logging: CONFIG_SCSI=yCONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=m CONFIG_CHR_DEV_ST=m CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR=m # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR_VENDOR is not set CONFIG_CHR_DEV_SG=m # CONFIG_CHR_DEV_SG_OLD is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_CONSTANTS is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_LOGGING is not set As Jon Pennington explained, unless Multi-LUN and Logging are turned off you get a whole bunch of scsi devices (instead of just 2). 5. Now do the usual stuff for kernel compilation (make dep clean bzImage; the modules and lilo). 6. Re-boot the machine, and start xcdroast; everything should be correct now (type, number, name of devices). 7. Set up xcdroast; follow the instructions /usr/doc/packages/xcdroast/README.html 8. Set up xmcd. I only care about playing music cd from the toshiba cd-rom. I run config.sh and selected the Toshiba SCSI cd-rom with number closest to mine; not very sofisticated, but it works. I am still getting some annoying messages (I am posting a separate message about that), but otherwise everything seems to be OK.

All I do is append="hdc=ide-scsi" in lilo.conf and rerun lilo. I then run "modprobe ide-scsi" after reboot. This with a stock kernel. Works. Ramon Diaz-Uriarte wrote:

Dear Michael, I am not sure I understand; you mean you did not rebuild your kernel with generic scsi support, etc? And all you do is just add that line to your kernel and run the modprobe command? That simple? What stock kernel are you using, if you remember? Thanks, Ramon On Tue, 25 Jan 2000, you wrote:

i heard that you can also get a burner running by modprobing all the modules needed without recompiling the kernel...lemme find the url and i will post it to the list... Ramon Diaz-Uriarte wrote:
