IDE-SCSI lost after boot up!
Dear: Fellow Debian users;
I am having a major problem with all my kernels, I am unable to boot
with any SCSI detection?
I noticed this a day or so ago, when I went to play a cd, I was
unable to have the program detect my cdrw. So I ran cdrdao scanbus
and got nothing. I then ran cdrecord -scanbus and got nothing. By
nothing I mean as if the ide-scsi emulation was missing, I was
looking for the regular lines and detections to show up. I ran those
as root, to make sure it wasn't a permission issue.
So I decided to reboot and make sure that I had appended the right
devices for ide-scsi, did everything normal and I did not see it
detect the devices in dmesg. So I booted a different 2.4.23 kernel
image, still no scsi detection. So I booted into my default 2.4.22
kernel that was installed when I installed testing with the
netinstall cd. I still get no ide-scsi detection in all the kernels
I have on my machine.
Which is about 3 kernels, So I decided to hit google and came up with
what seems to be on track, but was supposed to be fixed in my
instance of the kernel. About how ide-scsi fails at initial startup.

This is my uname -a line with my latest kernel compiled from debian
kernel source. Linux Raiz_mpx 2.4.23-gnu #1 SMP Wed Dec 17 21:57:24

This is all that shows up in my dmesg about scsi, it does not list
the devices like it should. This shows up in all my kenels.

Here is a copy of lsmod which lists all the proper devices for
ide-scsi emulation.

After doing some digging I did find a old copy of modules.conf and ,
then copied the new copy to modules.conf.new then renamed the old
conf to modules.conf.
I also booted into knoppix and it gives me proper ide-scsi detection.
I know my cdrw works, but for some reason my setup is borked, I did
a regular apt-get update, I use aptitude everything looks good, no
broken packages. I also ran memtest86 since I haven't done it in a
long time, everything came up clean after 18+ hours.
Did something change in testing that borked up ide-scsi I use an
Intrd image and use Grub, like I said everthing worked fine a few
days ago, all I did was update a few packages.
Whats really weird is cdrecord does work, but its cdrdao 1.1.7 that
gives me problems.
cdrecord gives me this by ide-cd module.

I would install a new kernel in an instant if I knew it would solve
my problem, but all the kernels I have won't do ide-scsi. I would
hate to install a new kernel and have it not work. Am I going to
have to go to kernel 2.6 just to get cdrdao to work?
Yes I have tried the ATAPI device with cdrdao as well as --device /
dev/hda/ it does not work.
Can someone hit me with a Debian clue bat, Paul, Pigeon, Monique,
Colin, Andreas, Karsten, ie all you die hard users. I know I have
left of some the old timers out, sorry, I haven't been around that
long, going on a year, just a spring chic to some of ya.
Thanks;
Rthoreau
