Enabling SCSI emulation on Fedora 3

CrazyRomanian · 03-09-2005, 04:36 AM

I tired to run by CD burning software on Fedora Core 3 and it said a message something along the lines of this:

Fro ATAPI/IDE devices you have to enable SCSI emultion in the kernel to activate the device

How do i do that?

open /etc/lilo.conf or /etc/grub.conf with an editor while logged in as root and add this:
append "/dev/hdx=ide-scsi"----->x=drive letter, a=ide cable 1 master, b=cable one slave,c=ide cable 2 master etc

that should load it at boot time
or you could add this to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
modprobe ide-scsi

you may want to just try it at first using "modprobe ide-scsi" from the commandline and make sure it works before adding it to the start up scripts
