Any ideas? Then hope it was compiled in. The ATAPI M/O and CDR devices talk a subset of SCSI and Linux presents them as SCSI devices. So for example I have a magneto optical drive on /dev/hdc.

I recompiled with IDE-SCSI emulation, SCSI Generic, SCSI CD (and disk, I have an old 1.3gig Hitachi on a SB16-SCSI2).. I now have my Memorex 16/2/2 IDE CD-RW cutting CDs under Linux. I found little to NO documentation on IDE-SCSI and making my CD-RW work.. a friend was playing with the IDE-SCSI modules with his IDE-ROM and said he had to disable the IDE support.. works like a charm, now.

I use SCSI emulation on my CD-RW, and the standard IDE driver on my DVD-ROM. This lets me work with some DVD-specific ioctls which I've implemented for linux IDE driver, for instance. Apparently the original intention of the IDE driver was so that you could insmod ide-cd and ide-scsi, etc., and then change the driver at will. I use a patch I made against the Linux IDE driver to do this which I posted to linux-kernel a few months back since I wanted that functionality, which I am still using under 2.2.3 (I can echo ide-scsi > /proc/ide/hdd/driver). With 2.2.4 you don't even need that--just reading the patch now there is a parameter added to the ide-cd module which tells it to ignore certain drives, though I haven't tried this. So, I suppose with 2.2.4 if your CD is hdc and your CD-RW is hdd build them modular and: modprobe ide-cd ignore=hdd modprobe ide-scsi I would assume this method would provide something you want, though I haven't tried it this way. -- Andrew -- To unsubscribe: mail -s unsubscribe redhat-devel...@redhat.com < /dev/null

I'm not interested in mixing the driver types.

This is the plan, eventually. But not having tested the key exchange yet, I'm not jumping at porting code for no good reason until I can test it, and I've not much time recently. Not everyone is using ide-scsi now (I only acquired the need recently, since I just got a CD-RW).
