I haven't seen this whole thread, but have you told the kernel on bootup to assign that to the ide-scsi module? The ide-cd module will grab it first if not told to ignore it...
on grub: kernel /vmlinuz ro root=/dev/hda5 hdd=ide-scsi
i think you meant this line. it didn't work.
There are other steps needed too:
1) Make a file (I called it cdrw) in /etc/modules that loads proper modules, in my case, I have:
$> more cdrw
#file created by HS,14Mar2004, to make CD-ROM seen as a SCSI device instead
#of as a ATAPI device.
#
# As suggested in CD Writing HOWTO
#
# This assumes IDE-CD is a module rather than copmiled into kernel.
#
options ide-cd ignore="hdd"
alias scd0 sr_mode
pre-install sg modprobe ide-scsi
pre-install sr_mod modprobe ide-scsi
pre-install ide-scsi modprobe ide-cd
2)run "update-modules" to make this take effect
3) Make the /etc/modules file look like this: $> cat /etc/modules # /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time. # # This file should contain the names of kernel modules that are # to be loaded at boot time, one per line. Comments begin with # a "#", and everything on the line after them are ignored.
sr_mod sg ide-cd ide-detect $>
4) Have this line in your grub.conf with ide-scsi=hdd option: kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.24-1-686 root=/dev/hdb5 hdd=ide-scsi ro single
where my CD-RW is /dev/hdd, change accordingly.
Then of course you should have a mount point, e.g. /cdrw, and a device /dev/cdrw linked to /dev/scd0, and a line in fstab corresponding to this mount point:
/dev/cdrw /cdrw auto ro,user,noauto 0 0
Also note that /dev/sg* shoudl all be owned root:cdrom and that you should be a member of the "cdrom" group.
Reboot machine and give the command "cdrecord -scanbus" and you should see your SCSI emulated CD-RW.
