scsi vs. cdrom_read

[steef]

...mmm..... if you put <append="hdx=ide-scsi" in lilo.conf and run lilo 
afterwards you 'make'  your cdrom_reader/player/writer into only a 
cdrom_writer. to use it as cdrom-reader again you have got to get rid of the 
line in lilo again.
anyway: that is the way it works on my machine.

a suggestion: (not too expensive i hope and without the trouble to compile a 
new kernel): add another cdrom-player to your machine.

You have to support for scsi cdroms in your kernel (or as module ide-scsi
and cdrom - the name may be different, I'm using 2.6 kernels and they
don't need scsi emulation).
