Apologies if this is a duplicate, Postmaster sent me a message this morning that this did not go through and I could not find it in the archives.
This boils down to two problems: if a module is missing, where can I get it? I did a Google search and there are a zillion references to the missing modules but no mention of where they can be found. And Second, what is the procedure for editing /etc/modules.conf using the new modutls tool? Here is the previous message...and, again thanks for many suggested avenues of inquiry. However I am at an impass. I will try to update the situation completely here while answering the questions of those who asked for more information. <--------------Linux Setup--------------> Intel 845 P4 1.6G; 768MbRAM Debian (3 Woody) Knl: 2.4.18-bf2.4 I have no SCSI adapter installed on this computer I have only the one CD drive I am doing all this in / but could this be a permissions problem?

But running modconf I did not see these modules under ide devices or under scsi devices, and do not know where else to look if they are needed now. <--------------X--------------> I left the edit of /etc/lilo.conf below intact as apparently there is no harm even if it is not needed. /etc/lilo.conf edited to insert: append="hdc=ide-scsi" on line 104 above #Boot up Linux by default. # default=Linux ran lilo -v with no errors reported <--------------X--------------> Among the other devices listed in fstab are two CD devices, and I have only the one. /dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0 and /dev/scd0 /cdrw iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0 my /dev/cdrom is a symlink to hdc I tried deleting the entry for the cdrom, and I tried using sc0 <--------------X--------------> under /dev/ I have devices for loop0-15 and sg0-7 <--------------X--------------> I was unable to make changes to modules.conf because one is now not able to make changes there directly and I did not understand the directions for using Modutls. I did not see anywhere where it looked like I should add the suggested "options" lines: options ide=cd ignore=hdc alias scd0 sr_mod pre-install sg modprobe ide-scsi pre-install sr_mod modprobe ide-scsi pre-install ide-scsi modprobe ide-cd <--------------X--------------> Direct answers below: Best Wishes!

Is this correct? Do you have an extra cd-rom? Then this is correct. No, I have only the one CD Drive. <--------------X--------------> When I run cdrecord I get the following message: "Unable ... could this be the IDE device where you in fact use ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?" What did you give cdrecord as dev= argument? It needs to be the (pseudo)scsi-device with bus,target,lun e.g. dev=0,0,0 Apologies: this was not cdrecord, this was kreateCD, which uses CD record. <--------------X--------------> When I run cdrecord -scanbus I get: No such file or directory. Thinking that this might be something like setting up a new partition, I set up a directory under / named "cdrw" but that did not solve the problem. <--------------X--------------> Did you really load all necessary modules? Can you post the ide- and scsi-section of your /boot/config-2.4.18? Are the appropriate entries in /dev present? Especially /dev/sg*? The output looks like missing /dev entries. See above, I apparently do not have all the modules, but they are not available from modconf <--------------X--------------> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
