it was not so simple. Since i have the master hd on the scsi chain, a
simple modprobe does not resolve, but even crashes the whole linux box
with an hard kernel panic (just to try the feeling having two
conflicting drivers together :) ). So i started hacking on initrd.img,
gunzipped it, mounted it on loopback, removed the module aic7xxx and
replaced with the old module from the /lib/modules/2.4.3-20mdk tree.
now the cdrw seems to work correctly. i've just burned an iso at 16x
with no writing errors (just a couple of them in the start/stop unit,
but i think it's quite normal since the drive is spinning up to catch
the media paramters... it's not writing time so i dont' care)
however, is not so clear why the ide cdrw had problems too... kernel
hackers know :)
many thanks for the help. I'll broadcast the solution as fast as i can.
