set scsi emulation for all cd-rom devices

[tino79 0]

I'm using Mandrake 9.1 and I want to write CDs with k3b, reading from my dvd-rom. To do that I have to set ide-scsi emulation for all my cd-rom devices but I don't now how to do that!

It's not long I'm using Linux. Is there someone can tell me all the steps I have to follow?

Thanks a lot!

I just ran into this problem in Mandrake 9.2. This is what I did.

 

First, find out what the device names are for your DVD and cdrom drives. You can go into etc/fstab and see what they are. If the deives are set up as master and slave on the same ide, then most likely they are hdc (master) and hdd (slave). If so;

 

Go into etc/lilo and make sure the append line has;

 

hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi

 

Assure that there is a space between the hdc and hdd entries.

 

Save the lilo file, run lilo in a terminal window and reboot.

 

When you reboot, the hardware change manager will note a change and ask if you want to keep the changes. If you are sure that the entries are correct, accept the changes.

 

Try to start K3b and see if the warning messages are gone, and if the K3b configure utility settings/configure/devices sees your drives as scsi devices.

 

I sure there may be an easier way, but I am just trying out Mandrake 9.2.
