Dear friends:
I have a problem with a Smart and Friendly CD-R and its SCSI card.
I want to add a Smart & Friendly SCSI CD-R to a PIII/450 system with an IDE
HDD and a ATAPI IDE CD-ROM. SCSI CD-R works fine under Win98. SCSI adapter
is an Adaptec 1520 clone, that came with the CD-R. On Windows, it works
fine under 0340 & IRQ10.
RH 6.0 does not find the card on install process. It asks for a manual
setup of the adapter, and asks for modules.
I looked on the SCSI HOWTO, and what it says regarding the Adaptec 152x is
that it can be set up manually on LILO prompt with the following line:
linux aha152x=0340,10,7,1
which corresponds to the port, IRQ, scsi ID and parity. After using this
line at LILO prompt, boot starts, but when it gets to SCSI checkup, it gets
SCSI:0.
I looked in the archives, and found a mail regarding installing a ZIP drive
with a SCSI Adaptec 152x clone, so I followed the procedure for installing
the card as listed as follows.
* I rebooted the system.
* Under root, I added the line 'alias scsi _hostadapter aha152x' to
/etc/conf.modules.
* Tried modprobe aha152x
What is the expected output for 'modprobe'? I am getting a message saying
that device or resource is busy, but cd-r is still, lights are off, and
there is no other sign of disk activity.
I guess I should try mounting a disk in the SCSI CD-R. When I mount cds on
the ATAPI IDE drive I use 'mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom'. But,
how do I mouns SCSI CD-ROM? I guess I have to add a new line to /etc/fstab.
As far as it is a CD-R, should I enable writting to the mount point? Should
the mount command be 'mount -t iso9660 /dev/sd0 /mnt/cdr'? (supposed I
created the cdr mount point).
ANY HELP WILL BE REALLY APPRECIATED AS FAR AS I AM TOTALLY LOST HERE. This
is the first SCSI drive I am mounting =).
Best regards,
-Manuel.
