DSL Installed..now need SCSI cdromForum: HD Install Topic: DSL Installed..now need SCSI cdrom started by: famewolf Posted by famewolf on Oct. 10 2004,18:17
I used a different PC to install DSL to a hard drive for a machine that has a SCSI cdrom with an older model sound card that has the scsi port on it. I've used this model with FREESCO and some early redhat versions so I know linux supports the cdrom and scsi card...however dsl fails to recognize it and I'm unsure how to "enable" it...any suggestions? I'm using the latest version and have noticed on all the machines I run dsl on (both with and without scsi) I do see something about modprobe failing with a -2 error when trying to do something to scsi_hostadaptor...if that's as clear as mud I can write down the exact error message..not sure it's relevant since I get it on non-scsi machines too.

You need a module (driver in winspeak) for your scsi/sound card. First find out which card you have and google to find which module you need. Then check if the module can be found in one of the subdirectories in /lib/modules/"kernel-version"/kernel/drivers. If it is there, use modprobe 'modulename', if it's not, you may find it on the corresponding Knoppix cd. If that fails, you probably have to compile the kernel yourself.
