Okay, all this used to work...then, in a moment of madness, I upgraded
my linux distribution. Guess what!
Anyway, if I do things like I used to, I lose my cdrom drive (which is
being run under scsi emulation, since it's an IDE burner). In
/etc/conf.modules the disto has the following relevant lines:
alias block-major-11 scsi_hostadapter
alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
pre-install plip modprobe parport_pc ; echo 7 > /proc/parport/0/irq
post-install supermount modprobe scsi_hostadapter
This, by itself seems to work. But now I add my commands for an
almost-real scsi card:
alias scsi_hostadapter aha152x
post-install sg modprobe aha152x
options aha152x aha152x=0x140,9
And I lose the cdrom (although the scanner seems to work okay).
I'm not sure if this is a device problem or due to scsi_hostadapter
being re-aliased? The cdrom is linked as
/dev/cdrom -> scd0
Which I think is right.
So, I think I have to change the alias setting up the lha152
adapter...but don't know how. BTW, in my previous setup I had the
scsi-emulation enabled with;
options ide-cd ignore=hdd # tell the ide-cd module to ignore
hdd
alias scd0 sr_mod # load sr_mod upon access of scd0
#pre-install ide-scsi modprobe imm # uncomment for some ZIP drives
only
pre-install sg modprobe ide-scsi # load ide-scsi before sg
pre-install sr_mod modprobe ide-scsi # load ide-scsi before sr_mod
pre-install ide-scsi modprobe ide-cd # load ide-cd before ide-scsi
But that doen's work anymore either (even after out-commenting the stuff
at the top of this message.
Thanks!
