SCSI Emulation

[prince_kenshi]

I'm having a bit of trouble getting this thing going. I've compiled SCSI emulation into my kernel. So the NHF says to insert:

append="hdc=ide-scsi"

at the end of my lilo.conf file. Well when I try to run lilo, it says there's a syntax error. What's up with that? I put the line after my OS's are defined. This is correct, correct?

These snapshots are from kernel-2.2.18, should be about the same for whatever kernel you have.

Selections for "Block devices" (http://members.home.net/rod105/block.jpeg)

Selections for "Scsi support" (http://members.home.net/rod105/scsi.jpeg)

I have successfully used this for kernel 2.2.18 and 2.4.3.

I am assuming an all ide interface. You will not have to use the append option.

It's only showing me about half the image on those pictures for some reason. I'm pretty sure I got the compile part right though. I have general SCSI enabled, SCSI cd-rom enabled, and SCSI emulation enabled. Is there anything I need to do after compiling and installing the kernel or should it just automatically set the drive as a SCSI drive? And it will be scd0 right? I linked /dev/cdrom to that but it doesn't even read drives now. I don't have a true SCSI controller by the way.

image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=lin
read-only
root=/dev/hde1
append="hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi"


put it in the area where it says 'image'

You also need SCSI generic support enabled.

If pbharris's suggestion doesn't work you may want to look and see.

pbharris's suggestion worked. But I do have SCSI generic support compiled, that's what I meant when I said general SCSI. But that's not important now.
