I would like to use my IDE CD-R on woody debian. I read how to use
modconf to enable IDE SCSI emulation. However, when I ran modconf and
looked in kernel/drivers/scsi the ide-scsi module was not there. Does
anyone know how to get the ide-scsi module? Do I need
to recompile the kernel or can I apt-get a kernel module?

if helpful, here is my system information:

MyComputer: uname -a
Linux MyComputer 2.4.18 #2 Thu Apr 11 14:37:17 EDT 2002 sparc64 unknown

thanks, andy

Did you compile the kernel you are now using? If so, you need to
re-compile and set the scsi stuff as 'm' or 'y' in the config step.

Thanks for the advice. I compiled 2.4.21 using make-kpkg and set all the
scsi stuff to m using xconfig. I now have sr_mod and sg installed as
modules. However, ide-scsi is still not available using modconf. the
files ide-scsi.c and ide-scsi.h exist in /usr/src/2.4.21/drivers/scsi.
however, following compilation, ide-scsi.o does not exist in
/lib/modules/2.4.21/kernel/drivers/scsi. it seems from the following
discussion that ide-scsi is not compiled by default in debian for sparc:

http://lists.debian.org/debian-sparc.../msg00103.html

Is there anyway to control what modules get compiled along with the
kernel? how might i specify that ide-scsi.o should get compiled?

thanks, andy

Unless you have some other reason to recompile your own kernel,
"ide-scsi.o" is in "kernel-image-2.4.21-sparc64_33_sparc.deb".
