Hello,

I tried mounting a CD via SCSI emulation with Kernel 2.4.26 before and there 
it worked nicely. I could insert an AmigaOS 3.9 CD and click on the 
Installation icon and there it goes.

Now I tried the same under Kernel 2.6.6 after setting the necessary env 
variable via the following shell script:

#!/bin/bash
# (W) by Martin Steigerwald, 19.7.2004
# Tell UAE to use Kernel 2.6 ATAPI interface for SCSI emulation
export UAE_SCSI_DEVICE=ATAPI
# Start UAE
./uae

The CD drive got mounted nicely. I was able to access its folders, load some 
pictures and stuff like that. But when I clicked on one of the installation 
icons "Installation" or "Installation-Emu" the emulated Amiga moaned about a 
read/write error. I found this with some other but not all installation 
scripts in the contributions folder of the CD. 

I tried copying the Installation script to RAM: and this worked okay. Well 
then I just copied the whole OS-Version3.9 folder to the harddisk, removed 
the CD and assigned "AmigaOS3.9:" to it. Then AmigaOS 3.9 installation worked 
out of the box. 

So I don't quite understand that read error. Why is there one when all the 
files can be copied anyway?

I had a similar problem when installing GoldED Studio AIX. I was able to start 
the Installer script but somewhere in the installation process - well it was 
when copying the keyfile - it moaned again. Again it helped to copy the CD to 
harddisk.
