The only SCSI device you have on your system is the CDRW drive that ide-scsi is emulating as a SCSI device. I have 1 other SCSI device in addition to trying to run ide-scsi on my CDRW drive - for a total of TWO SCSI devices. After booting without trying to load ide-scsi for hdd, I'd like for someone to look at the following info: ==================================================================== Here are the relevant parts from 'dmesg': VP_IDE: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 89 VP_IDE: chipset revision 6 VP_IDE: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx VP_IDE: VIA vt8233 (rev 00) IDE UDMA100 controller on pci00:11.1 ide0: BM-DMA at 0xfc00-0xfc07, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:DMA ide1: BM-DMA at 0xfc08-0xfc0f, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:DMA hda: IC35L040AVER07-0, ATA DISK drive hdb: ASUS CD-S500/A, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive hdc: IC35L040AVER07-0, ATA DISK drive hdd: SONY CD-RW CRX145E, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14 ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15 hda: 80418240 sectors (41174 MB) w/1916KiB Cache, CHS=5005/255/63, UDMA(100) hdc: 80418240 sectors (41174 MB) w/1916KiB Cache, CHS=79780/16/63, UDMA(100) ide-floppy driver 0.99.newide Partition check: hda: hda1 hda2 < hda5 hda6 hda7 > hdc: hdc1 hdc2 hdc3 Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 1.44M FDC 0 is a post-1991 82077 RAMDISK driver initialized: 16 RAM disks of 4096K size 1024 blocksize ide-floppy driver 0.99.newide md: md driver 0.90.0 MAX_MD_DEVS=256, MD_SB_DISKS=27 md: Autodetecting RAID arrays. md: autorun ... md: ... autorun DONE.

This results in the system locking up. As you can see, I have a 3Ware 6000 series IDE-RAID controller card that is handled as a SCSI device. Maybe there is a certain order in which the SCSI modules (scsi_mod/sd_mod for the 3Ware card and ide-scsi for the CDRW) need to be loaded? So far everyone has given me good ideas, and I think we're getting closer to a fix.
