goldstar cdrw drive

The cdrw is hdd in this setup.  My problem is the gscd.o driver can't wake
this up using any of the default addresses from 0X300-0X3f0.  I'm thinking
this may need or use
a different driver and set up procedure in slackware 8.0
and am not having much luck finding it on the net.  That lgservice.com
site is
inaccessible for me too.  Fortunately I got my parallel zip 250 drive
working under linux so can at least do a backup.
I wouldn't have bought this goldstar cdrw except it had slackware 3.5 on
the box and claimed
it could run under slackware 3.5.  I'm needing it mostly for the burning
function.
Has anyone had success getting these drives running using linux?

I never saw a goldstar drive, but according to this your model is on
ide interface and already detected.. gscd.o module is for a special
Goldstar interface adapter i belive.

Make sure you have ide-scsi(ide-scsi.o) emulation, scsi.o(scsi core), sg.o(scsi generic), sr.o(scsi cdrom) loaded. You also need to pass hdd=scsi to kernel.

The manpage of cdrecord and it's documentation is also very helpfull.

I was afraid of that.  I had been trying to use cdrecord first to detect
that drive with an aim to using cdrecord to burn cd's on it.  I hope
cdwrite or some other console text interface program will be able to
replace cdrecord's capabilities.On Sun, 29 Dec 2002, Boris Bezlaj wrote:

If you have ide-scsi enabled (passed to the kernel as an option in
grub.conf or lilo.conf, i.e.: append="hdd=ide-scsi") then cdrecord
should work.

You can run cdrecord --scanbus to scan the SCSI bus, which includes
virtual SCSI devices such as an ide-scsi cdrw drive.

Without ide-scsi emulation, and the aforementioned modules (ide-scsi-,
scsi core, scsi generic, and scsi-cdrom) cdrecord will not detect the
cdrw drive, and the system as a whole will simply see a regular CDROM
drive.

I have a CDRW drive, hdd, and ide-scsi emulation.

When I run cdrecord --scanbus this is the output:

Re: goldstar cdrw drive

[Jude DaShiell]

This is getting stranger by the minute.  I uncommented st and finally
cdrecord -scanbus decided to work.  Fortunately it found my zip disk at
sda4.  Unfortunately the rest of the device table it produced was blank.
I have hdc=ide-scsi and hdd=ide-scsi on the append="" line in my lilo.conf
file and ran lilo after finishing the modifications.  I wouldn't have
purchased this drive except slackware 3.5 was listed on the box as a
supported operating system.  This is strange about slackware 8.0, it
doesn't have an sr.o.gz module.  No problem I think since I also have
slackware 3.5.  Well it may have sr.o.gz but slackware 8.0 may have that
in the pasture directory.  That's where things about to be removed
entirely are stored because equipment is believed to no longer be needed.

you want:

append="hdc=scsi"

if hdc is your burner or hdd if that's it in your lilo.conf

It appears your append line is the last line in the set of lines
describing the orig configuration.  I can try moving that there and see
what happens, but without sr_mod being on this particular system my first
system backup will be to the zip disks then I'll work on a new and
hopefully improved kernel.  On Mon, 30 Dec 2002, Toby Fisher wrote:

I'm using 2.2.19 and if I change ide-scsi to scsi that's when lilo barfs.

If you are having problems with a device it might pay to compile a
kernel.  That there is no sr_mod.o or no sg.o seems a strange issue to
raise.

Re: goldstar cdrw drive

[Jude DaShiell]

Actually not strange at all.  See, they're listed in rc.modules but are
nowhere else on the system.  If one is trying to get a cd burner going,
one will run into these issues.  Why those were left out by slackware I
can't say.On Mon, 30 Dec 2002, Michael Talbot-Wilson wrote:

sr_mod.o is the module for SCSI CDROM drives, so  you should use a kernel with scsi
support either as module or builtin. Modules are located in /lib/modules/<kernel_version>/...
in most cases, so look there first.

And btw, previous posts mostly depend on 2.4 kernel..kernel/module parameters might
have changed from 2.2 -> 2.4.

In that case this the kernel that you use probably doesn't have _any_ scsi support. So even if
you find a module, you probably can't load it.. Check out some of the other kernels that
came with your distribution (lots of them) _or_ compile your own specifically tailored to
your system configuration(with a lot of other modules..might come handy when adding hardware).

Note: if compiling your own kernel, use the newest 2.2.x since your system already uses 2.2 version.
2.4 has a lot of changes, so in that case you will need to change some rc scripts _and_ upgrade
userland programs.
