While it's true it's _easier_ to setup if you remove IDE CDROM
support from the kernel, it's not strickly necessary.
For my PD-CD on /dev/hdd to be detected as ide-scsi using a stock
Debian kernel, I have used this in lilo.conf:
append="hdd=ide-scsi"
and created a file /etc/modutils/pdcd containing:
# Leave hdd for ide-scsi module
options ide-cd ignore=/dev/hdd
# Run update-modules after editing this file.
Then I run /sbin/update-modules and the above shows up in
/etc/modules.conf and the kernel's IDE driver doesn't grab hdd on
bootup.
The only simplifying step I'm missing is how to pass the
"hdd=ide-scsi" info to the kernel using modules.conf instead of
lilo.conf (That way, it wouldn't matter if I used lilo or not).
Anyone?
