Vendor & product I.D. Those are also a "best guess" Maybe your pendrive documentation has them or your SuSE unusual_dev file.

editfrom waht I say at the SOYO site they really don't care much about Linux. Maybe I looked in the wrong place.

cat /proc/scsi/scsi --> said no device attached

cdrecord -scanbus --> cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open '/dev/pg*'. Cannot open SCSI driver.

dmesg | grep scsi --> scsi 0: SCSI Emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
usb-storage: scsi cmd done, result=0x2

will try SuSE's unusual_devs and see what happen.

What drives do you have in your system?

Post this:
lsmod

**tsaelee** · 03-19-2003, 05:52 PM

it's interesting. I do have a generic ATA cd-rom drive, but 'cat /proc/scsi/scsi' shows no drives connected.

lsmod list as posted above.

unusual-devs.h from SuSE didn't work either (was a silly idea).

Not really -I have fixed my system by looking at other configurations before for sure.

- AHA! that's it!

cat /proc/scsi/scsi won't necessarily show a standard cdrom as a scsi device-unless scsi emulation is enabled. If you had a cd-burner installed when you installed Knoppix it would have by default enabled scsi emulation then your standard cdrom would be listed as a scsi device. Since you had no devices requiring scsi emulationon install then it is not enabled. You need to enable scsi emulation my friend.

I'm at work and unfortunately chained to an almost worthless windoze box so I may not be much help but post your lilo.conf file if you would.

We'll enable scsi emulation and let see what'll happen. thanks again.[/list][/quote]

It should be fairly easy to see if it will work like so:

edit your lilo.conf file to include sda=ide-scsi. It might look like this:

append= "hda=ide-scsi hdb=ide-scsi sda=ide-scsi"

Don't change anything just add "sda=ide-scsi" to it.

Then

modprobe ide-scsi
modprobe scsi-mod

I haven't tried it myself but I think that's it.

**tsaelee** · 03-20-2003, 12:11 AM

inserted append = "sda=ide-scsi" to lilo.conf

still no "sda" device when 'cat /proc/scsi/scsi'

modprobe ide-scsi --> no error
modprobe scsi-mod --> unable to locate module... i assume you meant "scsi_mod" - yeah, that's in there too.

will try JML 256MB Thumb Drive and see what'll happen. If all these work, will submit to be included for everyone to use.

Thanks.

Thanks for all of your help. What I found out was that we do indeed need to recompile and create a customized kernel. I haven't have the chance to do that yet. Will keep you all posted.
