    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
