Re: [Gc-linux-devel] ide-scsi problem

[Pierre S. <mug...@ya...>]

Fair enough, I'm not the first one then :)

By "building a kernel" do you mean recompile the kernel?
If so, I've no idea how to do that (I told you I'm really new at this!), I know I need the source kernel (2.6.32 in this case), and then I guess I could follow one of the thousands tutorials or "how to's" on the web.

Still, I don't know if it comes with preloaded options and you just modify the ones you want (case in point, the one you're telling me), or if you need to know all the options there is to configure from scratch.
Anyway if you could point me to the source kernel and a tutorial or "how to" to recompile it, I'll give it a try gladly!

If I succeed, I promise to post the recompiled version on a fileserver for newbies generations to come...

Thanks a lot for your reply, and patience!!!

      Try building a kernel with CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR=y.
      The stock gc-linux kernel comes without support for "normal" optical drives.
