Hi,
I am new at linux and I have never reconfigured a kernel before so I
need simple answers I guess.
I gather from reading the HOWTO for programming scsi that I need
Generic scsi support configured into the kernel. What I have is the
latest RedHat Linux 5.2 OS. The kernel that came with it is
2.0.36-0.7. The steps that I have done are
make mrproper
make dep
make xconfig
Here the only thing I changed was adding a y to Scsi generic
support. (CONFIG_CHR_DEV_SG) and (CONFIG_SCSI). The last one was
already yes.
make dep
make clean
Then I did the make zdisk.
When I tried to boot from the floppy I made it would only go so
far. So I decided to try it on the system.
This time I did the
make modules
mv /lib/modules/2.0.36-0.7 /lib/modules/2.0.36-0.7-old
make modules_install
mv /boot/vmlinuz-2.0.36-0.7 /boot/vmlinuz-2.0.36-0.7-old
cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/zImage /boot/vmlinuz
I edited my /etc/lilo.conf file so it would boot the new kernel or
the old
/sbin/lilo
If I type in scsi_info /dev/sga,,,,etc it tells me I don't have
permission. I have a Zip drive at id 5 on my aic7870 scsi drive. Has
anyone done this before? I really need to talk to the zip drive using
ioctl calls. I tried using the sd drivers but they won't let me get any
information back from them. The ioctl calls work fine if I am just
sending them a command but if I try to do an inquiry and get info back
they fail.
Desparate
