SCSI problems



Hi people,

I have a  SCSI controller. A PCI card, recognized as:

Dec 29 00:52:26 dreamland kernel: ncr53c8xx: at PCI bus 0, device 9,
function 0 Dec 29 00:52:26 dreamland kernel: ncr53c8xx: 53c875J detected

Dec 29 00:52:26 dreamland kernel: ncr53c875J-0: Downloading SCSI SCRIPTS
Dec 29 00:52:26 dreamland kernel: scsi0 : ncr53c8xx - version 3.2a-2 
Dec 29 00:52:26 dreamland kernel: scsi : 1 host. 


1. how can I force loading the new sym53c8xx.o module instead of the
default - old ncr53c8xx.o ?
Changing /etc/conf.modules to  "alias scsi_hostadapter sym53c8xx" didn't
help.


2. trying to burn cd's using xcdroast (or any other) gives me:
  "no generic scsi support has been detected", but:

"ls /proc/scsi/" gives :
ncr53c8xx  scsi

"ls /proc/scsi/ncr53c8xx/" gives :
0

a look in /var/log/messages :
Dec 29 00:57:00 dreamland modprobe: can't locate module block-major-11

modprobe -c :
alias block-major-11 sr_mod

I do have all the sr* 11  *  devices.

compiling the scsi drivers (sg + ncr53c8xx or sym53c8xx) into the kernel
(not modules) didn't help.

What's wrong ?

Any help will be appriciated.

Thanks,

Eyal.
