I don't care about performance of the optical drives, that's why I did put the hd's as masters on both channels. > OP could run a 2.6 kernel and not use ide-scsi. hmm... > ide-cd works fine for me... It always did for me, only this time I can't make it work. Do you mix hds and cd/dvd drives on the same ide channel? How can I tell the kernel/module that hdd should *not* be under ide-scsi? Or how can I tell ide-scsi that hdd is not the same drive as hdb?
