Hello,
About a year ago, I installed an ide CDRW. I added the following lines to
modules.conf:
options ide-cd ignore=hdb
pre-install sg modprobe ide-scsi # load ide-scsi before sg
pre-install sr_mod modprobe ide-scsi # load ide-scsi before sr_mod
pre-install ide-scsi modprobe ide-cd # load ide-cd before ide-scsi
Since upgrading from RH 9 to FC 2, I now get "fatal error" at boot up for sg
module. What is the sg module? The reason I ask is that under RH 9, I
always got an error about sound. My mother board does not have sound nor do
I have a sound card. So I'm sure that's why I got the sound error under RH
9.
Is the sg module for sound? If so, can I comment it out without affecting
the operation of the CDRW?
"sg" is "scsi generic", commonly used for things like scanners.
2.6 kernels, unlike 2.4 kernels, do not require ide-scsi to burn to
ATAPI CD writers. The 2.6 kernel also uses modprobe.conf rather than
modules.conf; you shouldn't need any of the lines above in your
modprobe.conf file.
