Special notes about SCSI CD−writers

Please make sure that your writer is recognized by the BIOS of your SCSI hostadaptor card. Every SCSI

hostadaptor scans the SCSI bus after power on and reports all devices found connected to the bus. The report

includes the SCSI ID of the devices and their product label. It makes no sense to proceed unless your CD

writer is listed in that report.

If you plan to connect your SCSI device through the parallel port (not to confuse with the IDE drives for the

parallel port), you need a special active cable and a special kernel driver. Read

http://www.torque.net/parport/parscsi.html to learn more about this option.

Special notes about CD−writers for the parallel port

I have no clue about this, sorry. Please read http://www.torque.net/parport/paride.html or your local file

/usr/src/linux/Documentation/paride.txt.

Compiling missing kernel modules (optional)

You don't need to read this section if you hardware is already sucessfully recognized and configured by the

previously described configuration steps.

The Linux kernel can be equipped with drivers for various features. You can compile the drivers into the

kernel image statically or you can compile them as a module for on−demand loading. The last method is

preferred for drivers not essential for bringing your Linux−system into life, because your kernel will be

smaller and faster then. However, some drivers are essential for the system to come up and you shouldn't

compile them as a module. Example: if your system lives on an IDE hard disk, you must have the driver for

IDE hard disks in the kernel −− not as a module.

There are three different types of CD−writers: SCSI, IDE/ATAPI and external writers that work through the

parallel port. The table shows how to configure the Linux kernel for those hardware types. The first column

of the table is the section of the kernel configuration menu, where you can find the setting. The second

column is the description of the feature (taken from the kernel configuration menu, too). The third column

gives the name of the resulting module. The columns named SCSI, IDE and PP contain the necessary options

for the associated hardware (PP = parallel port).
