Er, yes. The file /etc/modutils/ide-cd passes the parameters to the module when it is loaded.
Try the following now (per the CD-Writing-HOWTO), add the following lines to /etc/modules/actions: pre-install sg modprobe ide-scsi pre-install sr_mod modprobe ide-scsi pre-install ide-scsi modprobe ide-cd
Then I suggest using modconf to unload: /kernel/drivers/ide ide-cd
Not loaded.
and then make sure the following are loaded: /kernel/drivers/scsi/ sg
Already loaded
/kernel/drivers/scsi/ sr_mod
Not an option
/kernel/drivers/scsi/ ide-scsi
Installing module ide-scsi. If the device isn't there, or isn't configured correctly, this could cause your system to pause for up to a minute.
modprobe: Can't locate module ide-cd modprobe: pre-install ide-scsi failed modprobe: insmod ide-scsi failed
Installation failed.
Please press ENTER when you are ready to continue.
Trying again with the first debian install cd in the drive.
/kernel/drivers/scsi/ scsi_mod
Not an option, either. http://jan-jr-ent.homelinux.org/~janjrent/images/scsi-module-options.png
Right now, I feel as if I did something seriously wrong. Would it help to know I installed the bf2.4 kernel (wanted ext3 fs)
<snip>
That should (re)load the needed modules and hopefully the drive will come up as scsi emulated on /dev/scd0. Try cdrecord -scanbus again. Any other cdrom-like drives (besides hdd) will still be using the ide-cd module unless you exclude them in the options line also.
Now that I know what to do, it's a matter of getting it done.
I have glanced at (and have bookmarked) the CD-Writing-HowTo, but it doesn't help that the document is so large (and rather confusing in the beginning).
