DOlson Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 Sure. But if you have a CD or DVD drive and a CD-RW drive, if you modprobe ide-scsi, it probably converts both drives to "scsi" devices, which may not be what you want. So, you'd have to add some options to your boot menu: hdd=ide-scsi where hdd is the device that is your burner. You also need to specify: options ide-cd ignore=/dev/hdd in your /etc/modutils/options file, and then run update-modules. If you still have problems with it all, let me know. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
83mercedes Posted August 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 OK, boot menu meaning lilo.conf? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 yes, append=hdd=ide-scsi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
83mercedes Posted August 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 Don't have /etc/modutils/options...but I have /etc/modutils/actions is that it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOlson Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 Nope. Make a new file called options. The files I have in there are: 0keep apm i2c-2.4.20-gaming-r2 i2c-2.4.21-rc7 setserial actions arch i2c-2.4.20-preempt options aliases i2c-2.4.20-ck7 i2c-2.4.21 paths alsa i2c-2.4.20-dolson4 i2c-2.4.21-preempt ppp What you have varys on what you've got installed and what you've added youself. Basically, this is just a nice way of separating the sections of your /etc/modules.conf file. It's The Debian Way. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOlson Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 okay, here's my notes about IDE and SCSI emulation from when I first set up Debian: SCSI and IDE drives Put these in the appropriate sections of the /etc/modules.conf: pre-install ide-scsi modprobe ide-cd alias scd0 srmod alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi options ide-cd ignore=/dev/hdd Hope that helps.

83mercedes Posted August 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 OK, I have tried to install kernel-2.4.21 as per DOlson's advice. The problem is after I edit lilo.conf and then run lilo, it keeps saying no such file or directory, I can see that the new vmlinuz is there, I cdan even re-name it to whatever I want, but...lilo only sees my 2 old entries, for linux and xp. I don't know, so I hope somebody does... Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOlson Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 When you apt-get install a new kernel, or build debs of your own, and then install them, you get the option to have it update lilo for you. I would say yes and hope it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
83mercedes Posted August 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 Thanks DOlson, Im past that, and I don't recall seeing that, I just copied the bzImage created to /boot, edited lilo.conf to include it, and ran lilo. Lilo won't see it for some reason. By the way, Im about to give up, and that's something I hate to do. PS I followed your example on the second page of this post, and I got errors when I got to: dpkg -i kernel-image-2.4.21-preempt_10.00.Custom_i386.deb kernel-headers-2.4.21-preempt_10.00.Custom_i386.deb so I guess that part didn't go... all I wanted to do is get nvidia going, and man! So I can't use the default kernel 2.4.18-bf2.4, since there is no available matching kernel-source that I can find, and I can't seem to locate it on the CD. I guess I'm done whining now! :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOlson Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 Well it sounds like you're not doing the kernel compile properly, especially if you're copying some bzImage file by hand... Why not just try apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.21-4-k7 (assuming you have an AMD K7 chip)? If you put Custom_10.00 in the filenames, then of course it won't work if the files aren't named that. You need to use whatever your .deb files are actually called. If you can't figure it out, please post the errors from dpkg so I can help.

bvc Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 I use the 2.4.20-3-k7 because there are no alsa-modules for anything higher in my sources.list /unstable and I'm too lazy to compile it on my own :wink: ....keep that in mind.

83mercedes Posted August 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 bvc and DOlson and cybrjackle, thanks a lot guys. The new kernel is in, and a whole lot easier than sdoing it the other way, thanks to apt. Still, nvidia complains about no kernel-headers, and fails. I also apt-got kernel-source and kernel-headers. One little step at a time I guess. I'm gonna go bak to DOlson's nvidia tutorial and re-read it again. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 I have (for AMD k7 chip) kernel-image-2.4.20-3-k7 kernel-headers-2.4.20-3-k7 alsa-modules-2.4.20-3-k7 all other alsa is version 0.9.4-1 /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.20.tar.bz2 that you have to uncompress. I used nautilus>clicked it> it opened file-roller and gave me /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.20 you can do the same in konq but rt-click>open with ark (or whatever it is). again....did you ls /usr/src to see if it's there?

83mercedes Posted August 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 Crud. This is what I get: mike@debian:~$ ls /usr/src kernel-headers-2.4.21-4 kernel-headers-2.4.21_10.00.Custom_i386.deb rpm kernel-headers-2.4.21-4-k7 kernel-image-2.4.21_10.00.Custom_i386.deb I can't figure this out, I have 2 kernel-headers and no kernel-source. But it is installed, I am pretty sure, EDIT : Ok I screwed up, I installed kernel-source, now my list looks like this: mike@debian:~$ ls /usr/src kernel-headers-2.4.21-4 kernel-source-2.4.21 kernel-headers-2.4.21-4-k7 kernel-source-2.4.21.tar.bz2 kernel-headers-2.4.21_10.00.Custom_i386.deb rpm kernel-image-2.4.21_10.00.Custom_i386.deb Nvidia still don't see it. And why is my kernel-image not there? mike@debian:~$ uname -r 2.4.21-4-k7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOlson Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 okay, rm -rf those two deb files. you dont' need them if you're using debian's kernels. EDIT: heh, I read your post wrong. give me a minute to look at my notes and see what happens next. Okay, now, do this: cd /lib/modules/2.4.21-4-k7/ ls -l And check the output. You should see build -> /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.21/ If you don't, make that symlink in there and see what happens. that's where the NVidia driver looks to find the source or the headers.
