Hi, [...]
Is there a reason why the deprecated ide_scsi is being added to the initrd? It seems odd that it is left in if it is better for me to write with /dev/hda who decides what gets added to the initrd loadmodules ?Other than stupidity? :) In /etc/mkinitrd/mkinitrd.conf there is a setting concerning modules: # What modules to install. MODULES=most Using dep sounds better. Unfortunately there isn't a 'listed' to only get modules one listed manualy.
I do not know know who at debian sets the default to include ide_scsi. Who should I file a bug with? I think it is important to get this point revised as it has taken so long to solve. (I reported this in Feb if I remember correctly..) I am glad cdrecord did not wipe my root drive when I did this: cdrecord -v -dev=ATA dev=0,0,0 schillix-0.1.iso Where to put the ATA bit was not documented.., I should have done it as: cdrecord -v dev=ATA:0,0,0 schillix-0.1.iso (Bit of a waste of a CD-R.. ;) Anyway, I switched to using growisofs and the gnomebaker GUI front end now, cdrecord developer does not respond to my email. Kind regards JG
