Hi out there!
I 've got the following problem:
I built in a Plextor-CD-Writer in my Desktop-PC (with Woody on it) but
the machine (kernel) do not recognize it.
I put the following command-line into my /etc/lilo.conf
append="hdc=ide-scsi" and started lilo again
but there is still something wrong :-(
Some more infos from my server:
dmesg | grep hdc brings the following:
ide1: BM-DMA at 0xb808-0xb80f, BIOS settings: hdc:pio, hdd:pio
hdc: PLEXTOR CD-R PX-W5224A, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
hdc: ATAPI 40X CD-ROM CD-R/RW drive, 2048kB Cache, (U)DMA
dmesg | grep scsi shows:
request_module[scsi_hostadapter]: Root fs not mounted
request_module[scsi_hostadapter]: Root fs not mounted
i2o_scsi.c: Version 0.0.1
scsi0 : SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices
cdrecord -scanbus (as ROOT) brings ==>
Cdrecord 1.10 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2001 Jörg
Schilling
cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open SCSI driver.
cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make
sure you are root.
With modconf I already loaded the sg-module as well as the
ide-scsi-emulation-module to the kernel (show lsmod-file in the
attachment please)
The strange thing is: when I started my server with the Knoppix-3x-CD
(just for testing) - Knoppix finds my CD-Writer and all the other
hardware with no problem, the cdrecord-scanbus-command brings no error,
I could use the CD-Writer, so it cannot be a hardware-defect.
Last info:
I start my server with a floppy-bootdisc (as my Bios do not recognize my
new 40GB-harddisc and I couldn't flash the bios till now). May this be
the reason? Does the kernel on the floppy-disc NOT reading my
/etc/lilo.conf from the harddisc?
What can I do in this case? Any hints whats still missing or wrong?
yours sincerely,
Richard

# | !! Reminder !! |

# | Don't forget to run `lilo' after you make changes to this |

# bios=0x81
#disk=/dev/sda

# Specifies the boot device. This is where Lilo installs its boot
# block. It can be either a partition, or the raw device, in which
# case it installs in the MBR, and will overwrite the current MBR.
#

# Specifies the device that should be mounted as root. (`/')
#
root=/dev/hda3
# Enable map compaction:
# Tries to merge read requests for adjacent sectors into a single
# read request. This drastically reduces load time and keeps the
# map smaller. Using `compact' is especially recommended when
# booting from a floppy disk. It is disabled here by default
# because it doesn't always work.
#
# compact
# Installs the specified file as the new boot sector
# You have the choice between: bmp, compat, menu and text
# Look in /boot/ and in lilo.conf(5) manpage for details
#

# Specifies the location of the map file
#
map=/boot/map
# You can set a password here, and uncomment the `restricted' lines
# in the image definitions below to make it so that a password must
# be typed to boot anything but a default configuration. If a
# command line is given, other than one specified by an `append'
# statement in `lilo.conf', the password will be required, but a
# standard default boot will not require one.
#
# This will, for instance, prevent anyone with access to the
# console from booting with something like `Linux init=/bin/sh',
# and thus becoming `root' without proper authorization.
#
# Note that if you really need this type of security, you will
# likely also want to use `install-mbr' to reconfigure the MBR
# program, as well as set up your BIOS to disallow booting from
# removable disk or CD-ROM, then put a password on getting into the
# BIOS configuration as well. Please RTFM `install-mbr(8)'.
#
# password=tatercounter2000
# Specifies the number of deciseconds (0.1 seconds) LILO should
# wait before booting the first image.
#
delay=20
# You can put a customized boot message up if you like. If you use
# `prompt', and this computer may need to reboot unattended, you
# must specify a `timeout', or it will sit there forever waiting
# for a keypress. `single-key' goes with the `alias' lines in the
# `image' configurations below. eg: You can press `1' to boot
# `Linux', `2' to boot `LinuxOLD', if you uncomment the `alias'.
