SATA+ IDE DVD-Writer crash, and missing /dev/fd0 (Was Re: Processed: reassign 300706 to installation-reports)

[Please include my email address in replies]

Hello,
I hope someone will be able to help me solve the two remaining problems from my debian sarge install earlier this year.

Bug#300706: debian sarge (debian-installer system) dvdrom and floppy issues
Bug reassigned from package `debian-installer' to `installation-reports'.
Both my Floppy drive and my DVD Writer work fine from MS-Windows. I have used them many times in recent weeks due to these two devices not working with my Debian install :( 

I wonder if anyone has any ideas how to get my floppy drive working?  I
have not solved the problem yet.

I do not have an /dev/fd0, although the debian sarge install did add
this to /etc/fstab:

/dev/fd0        /media/floppy0  auto    rw,user,noauto  0       0

Also, if someone could help me get my DVD-Writer working that would be
great.  Is there any documentation on how to setup an IDE DVD-Writer on
a system with SATA + IDE? (Instalation report attached again)

When I setup ide-scsi:

kernel          /vmlinuz-2.6.8-2-k7 root=/dev/sda3 hda=ide-scsi ro

I get a system wide crash (not even Ctrl+Alt+SysReq works!) during the
write when using dvdrecord.

I also get a system wide crash when using growisofs for a DVD-R from
gnomebaker GUI.

Is the kernel boot commandline ide-scsi method deprecated?  Or is there
a better way to get DVD-R writing working on Debian sarge?

I saw this message:
ide-scsi is deprecated for cd burning! Use ide-cd and give dev=/dev/hdX
as device

so i tried this:

title           Test kernel 2.6.8-2-k7
root            (hd0,1)
kernel          /vmlinuz-2.6.8-2-k7 root=/dev/sda3 ide-cd dev=/dev/hda ro
initrd          /initrd.img-2.6.8-2-k7
savedefault
boot

but "ide-scsi=/dev/hda" is requried, so perhaps the args will not get
through? I tried "ide-cd=/dev/hda" as well, unfortunately still scsi grabbed hda :(
Some more info, as I went through experimenting, hopefully someone will notice something:

What is the difference between "sg0" and "scd0" ? Also sg1 whatever that
is. I only have:


IDE Primary master hda: NEC DVD-Writer

IDE Seconardy master backup drive, comes out as hdc

SATA disc, appears as sda





My friend suggested I try this, however it got stuck in the kernel, no
Oops that I could find.
# rmmod sr_mod

Why is sd_mod in /etc/modules after my sarge install?  It triggers the
load of loads of scsi modules like sr_mod and ide_scsi etc..
Is there no way to get a SATA drive to appear as /dev/hde etc? That is how my RAID ATA133 hard drive used to appear on my old machine. 

My friend has this in syslog

I would like to get the floppy drive working for emergencies in case I
need to boot.  I followed the instructions of dd the stage1 an stage2
onto the fd0 from Mandrake box but it would not boot off it.  Do I need
to patch up a menu.lst file?  LILO used to work fine with this fd0
drive, also the fd0 drive works fine from MS-Windows.

Tips, FAQs or assistance appreaciated!

Let me know if you need any more details. (I do not wish to re-install)

I'd like to avoid further complete system crashes if possible..

Kind regards
JG

Comments/Problems:

/dev/fd0 missing, and cd/dvd writing not setup.  CD/DVD writer is:
_NEC    ' 'DVD_RW ND-2500A ' '1.06'.
This is an IDE model, which is on /dev/hda, I had to convert it to work as /dev/scd0 to write cds.
