Kernal Config (was Lexmark Printer)

[Robert Kennedy]

Hello Again,

I decided I'd fought the printer battle long enough
with my older Susie 7.3 release. So I decided to
upgrade. (One reason to upgrade is that Lexmark has
another driver for Suse 8+ that is CUPS based.)

I bought more ram & a MediaStor CD-R/RW burner. The
ram worked fine on bootup. Do did the CD read
functions.

However when I tried to burn a CD to back up my home
directory I got the message: Enable "ide-scsi
emulation" in the kernal.

I found what I think is the proper module at:

/lib/mocules/s.4.10-4GB/kernal/drivers/scsi/ide-scsi.o

I looked thru /etc/modules.conf  About 80% of the 18k
file seems to be about sound cards. I did not notice
anything that might be something I could uncomment to
activate that module.

At
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/CD-Writing-HOWTO-2.html#ss2.2

I found a fairly complicated way to get this done. I
sure hope there is something easier. One note, right
now this is the only CD installed. The above HowTo
says this makes things a bit more complicated. I can
re-install the old CD-ROM, if necessary.

Again, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Bob Kennedy
