I was never able to make the above fix work (i.e. have both ATAPI/IDE CD-ROM and a ide-scsi CD-RW). However, the penalty is not so awful: it's just that the CD-ROM is now a SCSI device. I used to have the CD-ROM as /dev/hdc, but after installing ide-scsi support, it and the CD-RW are /dev/scd0 and /dev/scd1 respectively, for mounting disks. The CD-RW is refered to as /dev/sg0 though, when I write to it. In general, scd# is a "SCSI CD Device" and sg# is a "SCSI Generic Device". The original poster can probably solve his problem by changing the /dev/cdrom symlink to point to the correct device. Good luck. -- Terry Hancock [EMAIL PROTECTED]
