Greetings, Okay, so I've finally gotten around to setting up my ancient ide CDRW under linux. First, I RTFM <CD-Writing-HOWTO>, and I make sure that I have scsi emulation at least in modular form for my (custom) kernel. I update my lilo.conf, run lilo, modify my /etc/modules, run update-modules, and reboot. Then... I have problems. It seems that there is something awry at the circle-k, because I get a nasty load of errors. Further, everything is just hunky-dory until I load ide-scsi.o, which is when the errors start. To restate the situation, if I comment out ide-scsi in my /etc/modules, everything loads up fine, but I have nothing in the way of scsi devices. Also, after the plethora of errors, I do get an entry in /proc/scsi/scsi, but I can't seem to use it. Following is a buffet of information about my system. So, what do I do? Help? Anyone?
