HP 7200 CD-R install problem

[dbfruth]

I am trying to install an HP 7200 IDE CD-RW drive under Slackware 8.0

I compiled a custom 2.4.20 kernel about a week ago. and included scsi support built into the kernel for my USB flash drive and for a parallel port zip drive (even though I don't have the zip drive hooked up at the moment).

I read the NHF and installed cdrecord 1.10 and X-CD-Roast from source.

My problem is when I add append="hdc=ide-scsi" to lilo.conf and reboot I can't mount the drive as a normal cd-drive let alone write to it, but when I take that line out of lilo.conf it works fine. Do I need to add scsi cd support even though the drive is only using scsi emulation? Also when I try to modprobe ide-scsi it says the module can't be found. Is that because scsi is built into the kernel?

You need to enable

#
# IDE, ATA and ATAPI Block devices
#
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE=y

#
# Please see Documentation/ide.txt for help/info on IDE drives
#
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD_IDE is not set
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD is not set
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDISK=y
CONFIG_IDEDISK_MULTI_MODE=y
# CONFIG_IDEDISK_STROKE is not set
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDISK_VENDOR is not set
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_COMMERIAL is not set
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD=m
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDETAPE is not set
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEFLOPPY=m
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDESCSI=m <--- THIS ONE
# CONFIG_IDE_TASK_IOCTL is not set
CONFIG_IDE_TASKFILE_IO=y

#
# SCSI support
#
CONFIG_SCSI=m <--- THIS ONE

#
# SCSI support type (disk, tape, CD-ROM)
#
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD is not set
# CONFIG_CHR_DEV_ST is not set
# CONFIG_CHR_DEV_OSST is not set
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR=m <--- THIS ONE
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR_VENDOR is not set
CONFIG_SR_EXTRA_DEVS=8
CONFIG_CHR_DEV_SG=m <--- THIS ONE

You should have

ide-scsi
scsi_mod
sr_mod

Some distros also use

sg

So I need to recompile the kernel with scsi built as a module?

[mdwatts]

I don't think that matters as long as you have all the required scsi emulation support either built into the kernel or as modules.

IT WORKS!!! Thanks for the help.

I of course had to freeze the comptuer up serveral times do to incorrect settings in X-CD-Roast, but after I got that straightened out it has been working fine.

Glad to help.... Well done.

Ok...I'm a total noob to this so how do I get the modules? I've got an IDE drive and I don't know how to get the scsi modules installed. Thanks for any help.
