Hey,
I'm using a proprietary, Creative external CD-ROM drive. I have built
in kernel support for this (sbpcd), but it has to scan for my drive
everytime. I want to configure lilo so that it doesn't have to do this
(I think it's possible cause it says this:)
sbpcd-0 [01]: sbpcd.c v4.61 Eberhard Moenkeberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
sbpcd-0 [02]: Looking for Matsushita/Panasonic, CreativeLabs,
Longshine, TEAC CD-ROM drives

sbpcd-0 [04]: Auto-Probing can cause a hang (f.e. touching an NE2000
card).
sbpcd-0 [05]: If that happens, you have to reboot and use the
sbpcd-0 [06]: LILO (kernel) command line feature like:
sbpcd-0 [07]: LILO boot: ... sbpcd=0x230,SoundBlaster
sbpcd-0 [08]: or like:
sbpcd-0 [09]: LILO boot: ... sbpcd=0x300,LaserMate
sbpcd-0 [10]: or like:
sbpcd-0 [11]: LILO boot: ... sbpcd=0x338,SoundScape
sbpcd-0 [12]: with your REAL address.
sbpcd-0 [13]: = = = = = = = = = = END of WARNING = = = = = == = = =
sbpcd-0 [14]: Scanning 0x340 (LaserMate)...
sbpcd-0 [15]: Scanning 0x230 (SoundBlaster)...
sbpcd-0 [16]: Drive 0 (ID=1): CR-563 (0.80) at 0x230 (type 1)
sbpcd-1 [17]: You should read linux/Documentation/cdrom/sbpcd
sbpcd-1 [18]: and then configure sbpcd.h for your hardware.
my /etc/lilo.conf looks like this:
boot=/dev/hda1
root=/dev/hda1
install=/boot/boot.b
map=/boot/map
vga=normal
delay=20
image=/vmlinuz
label=Linux
read-only
sbpcd=0x230,SoundBlaster
Why does it still scan?
Thanks,
Cameron Matheson
