Yves_DANDOY_246 : 21/11/03 04:23 PM : Incident created -   K3b (the cd/DVD burner) tells me that my DVD reader is atapi and that I should set it up to use SCSI emulation. The recommended method is to add hdc=ide-scsci in the /etc/lilo.conf file then run lilo then reboot. I followed the modus operandi exectly but ... when I run K3b, the same warning keeps appearing. Did I forget something ? Here is a copy of /etc/fstab /dev/hda3 / ext3 defaults 1 1 none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0 /dev/hda4 /home/yves/data1 ext3 defaults 1 2 none /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/hdb,fs=udf:iso9660,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0 none /mnt/cdrom2 supermount dev=/dev/scd0,fs=udf:iso9660,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0 none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=ext2:vfat,--,codepage=850,sync,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0 none /mnt/hd supermount dev=/dev/hdd1,fs=ext2:vfat,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,kudzu 0 0 /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs ro,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0 /dev/hda2 swap swap defaults 0 0 Best regards. Yves DANDOY P.S.: my DVD writer (/etc/scd0 works correctly)

Linegod_7611 : 25/11/03 03:16 AM : Reply received -   You have hdc set to ide-scsi, but not hdb. Edit '/etc/lilo.conf' so it looks like this: image=/boot/vmlinuz label="linux" root=/dev/hda3 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append="quiet devfs=mount hdb=ide-scsi hdc=ide-scsi acpi=ht resume=/dev/hda2 splash=silent" vga=788 read-only When you are done editing, run '/sbin/lilo' to store the configuration. Then edit '/etc/fstab' so it looks like this: none /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/scd1,fs=udf:iso9660,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0 none /mnt/cdrom2 supermount dev=/dev/scd0,fs=udf:iso9660,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0 Reboot the box and you should be good to go. If any programs need access to your DVD or DVD burner, point them at '/dev/scd1' or '/dev/scd0'. -------- Note: If this answer resolves your problem, please remember to close this incident.
