I haven't been following this thread from the beginning so if I'm totally on the wrong track please ignore my comment.
If you have ide-cd support in your kernel either built-in, or as a module you must tell the ide-cd driver to keep off the unit you want to use with ide-scsi. I also think that if you have support for both drivers, they must either both be compiled into the kernel, or both be loadable modules (at least I couldn't get it to work any other way). If they are loadable modules you do it with module options and if they are build-in you must give appropriate boot parameters. You can get more details in the "CD-Writing-HOWTO". There is also a "CD-Writing with an ATAPI CDR Mini-HOWTO" On my woody system (kernel 2.4.17) I have one ide cd/dvd-reader connected to /dev/hdb and one ide cd-reader/writer connected to /dev/hdc. Both ide-cd and ide-scsi are loadable modules. In the /etc/modules file I have the lines: options ide-cd ignore=hdc ide-scsi alias scd0 sr_mod pre-install sg modprobe ide-scsi pre-install sr_mod modprobe ide-scsi I can access the the cd/dvd-reader (that uses the ide-cd driver) as /dev/hdb and the cd-reader/writer (that uses the ide-scsi driver) as /dev/scd0 Hope this helps, /Leif [EMAIL PROTECTED] Raffaele Sandrini wrote: > On Monday 18 February 2002 16:49, Eduard Bloch wrote: > > #include <hallo.h> > > > > Raffaele Sandrini wrote on Mon Feb 18, 2002 um 03:24:09PM: > > > How can i access ATAPI CD-ROMs loaded with ide-scsi?
