I was trying to read one of my cdrom archives on a 2.4.3 machine with a cheap-ass generic ide/ATAPI cdrom drive, but all it could read was the lost+found directory...
I could read the cd with other drives, so it wasn't a coaster. On a whim, I tried loading the scsi emulation drivers scsi_mod.o, sg.o, ide-cd.o and mounted the drive as /dev/scd0 and could now read the disk just fine! So it looks like it is enough to just call an ide-drive a scsi drive to make it more reliable :-) patrick. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
