Hp 8xxx Cd writer

Hp 8xxx Cd writer

[Miguel Maria Godinho de Matos]

Hi, I am crrently runnig linux red hat 7.2 with a 2.4.7 kernel ( i havent 
upgraded cause i am a newbie and haven't had he guts to do so ).

However i am trying to configure the kernel 2.4.14 which i actually have even 
acomplished to compile.

I have a doubt though! I have an externel cd-writer ( hp 8200 ) which is 
supported by the kernel, but in the make xconfig menu, that options appears 
in gray ( u can't select it ). As a lot of kernel options need some kind of 
pre-selected items, i am asking anyone who  knows what do i have to 
pre-select so i can choose the module for hp..... support in my usb kernel 
configuration menu.

If i didn't provide enough information plz tell me so!

Crying for help: 

Astinus.

You probably need to say yes to experimental drivers, and if I recall the
HP8200 correctly, various USB options.

I really don't know, BUT, questions of this sort can be answered by
looking at the Config.in file.  Its root will be found in .../arch/your
arch/Config.in.  It may include (source) other files which may in turn
source still more, but in there is the whole of the configuration with
all it options.  The syntax is really quite easy to follow.  Have fun.

It needs to have the SCSI emulation enabled, and then the SCSI 
generic device (sg) and also the SCSI/USB mass storage support
plus scsi CDROM support.  It treats it as scsi cdrom basically,
which is why all the scsi stuff is needed.
