Description Dave 2003-09-28 10:41:56 UTC
This line is in the documentation to enable scsi emulation for CD buring:

echo -e "ide-scsi\nsg\nsr_mod" >> /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4

where 'sg' use to be the name of the module built when SCSI support is selected
in menuconfig.  This has worked in the past without a hitch; however, the kernel
build now seems to want to name 'sg' as 'scsi_mod', and the line above fails
unless you replace 'sg\n' with 'scsi_mod\n'

What kernel is this report on? Type and version (e.g. vanilla-sources-2.4.20)
if possible. We have several kernels and this might be reflecting only a
single kernel...

It is linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r7 (just installed, and that's what came down via
emerge sync).
Comment 4 Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-10-18 12:05:34 UTC
sg and scsi_mod are not equivalents. Both have a different functionality.
Perhaps your kernel has sg inside the kernel? I haven't had any problems
myself with the current docs (tested several kernels). On #gentoo I have
received the same information, so I'm marking this as WORKSFORME.

In the not-so-far future we'll add ATAPI burning support to the guides (just
waiting for some cdrdao confirmation).
