However, I have a vague idea that you are asking "How do I mount an IDE CD drive that has been set under ide-scsi administration?" Let us take my own system as an example: Before setting up ide-scsi I have one IDE CD-RW. It is the slave on the primary IDE controller. Its device is named /dev/hdb It also has a symbolic link named /dev/cdrom which, in this case, points to /dev/hdb Now I want to be able to both burn CDs with this drive AND I want to be able to mount it as an ordinary CD drive. I do this: I configure the kernel to use sg (generic scsi) and ide-scsi. On my system they are loadable modules. Then I tell LILO to tell the kernel to treat my CD drive as a scsi device by using the ide-scsi driver. I do that in /etc/lilo.conf where I put this in the append line: append="hdb=ide-scsi" I then run /sbin/lilo to make the changes take effect upon the next reboot. I then reboot. Now my CD drive is no longer /dev/hdb. It has become /dev/scd0. However, my /dev/cdrom still points to /dev/hdb. Trying to mount my CD drive now will fail. I must now make /dev/cdrom point to /dev/scd0 I achieve that like this: rm /dev/cdrom ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom I.e. first I remove the old symlink since it is no longer any good. Then I make a new symlik that point to the correct device. For you I my first guess would be that your CD drives must be /dev/scd<something> Have you tried mounting the devices manually one by one? This is the tedious way to find your devices, but it should be foolproof. What does cdrecord -scanbus report? (I haven't got it within reach right this minute) I would think there would be some tools that could scan the virtual scsi bus and list devices. I never needed one, so I can't help you there. I hope this helps you. Best regards Johnny :o)
