[ltp] PCMCIA CDROM drive

[Andreas Nolda]

Dear Thinkpad users,

I am running RedHat 6.0 on a Thinkpad 560 X.  Unfortunately, my PCMCIA 
CDROM drive (a Sony Discman PRD-250) is not correctly initialized (or
whatever).  When inserting the card, I am getting the following
messages:

        Nov 14 15:58:23 tp kernel: scsi : 0 hosts. 

I use a 2.2.5 kernel, which I have compiled with the following SCSI
options:

        CONFIG_SCSI=m
        CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=m
        CONFIG_CHR_DEV_ST=m
        CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR=m
        CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR_VENDOR=y
        CONFIG_CHR_DEV_SG=m
        CONFIG_SCSI_CONSTANTS=y
        CONFIG_SCSI_LOGGING=y
        CONFIG_SCSI_G_NCR5380_PORT=y

Of course, I have recompiled the PCMCIA modules.  My
/etc/pcmcia/config contains the following line for the AHA 152x
driver:

        device "aha152x_cs"
          class "scsi" module "scsi/scsi_mod", "scsi/sr_mod", "aha152x_cs"

And this is /etc/conf.modules:

        keep
        path[thinkpad]=/lib/modules
        alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
        alias char-major-10-170 thinkpad        
        options thinkpad enable_smapi=1 enable_superio=1 enable_rtcmosram=1
        pre-install pcmcia_core /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start
