Hi everyone,

Under RH6.2, I was trying to get my Mitsumi CD-R (an IDE device) to work
under linux. The HowTo instructions described how to enable the generic
SCSI driver (sg.o).

Everything went fine until I actually tried to load the ide-scsi and sg
drivers. My log would report:

modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-97

this is the /dev/pg0 !!! (thus my posting to this list).

compiling and loading this module made the problem go away.

My question: Why would the ide-scsi and/or generic SCSI drivers require
the generic PARALLEL port driver??????

Thanks much,

Greg Bell
