-L doesn't work here:
travel:/home/vassilii# mkswap -L swap /dev/hda8
Usage: mkswap [-c] [-v0|-v1] [-pPAGESZ] /dev/name [blocks]
travel:/home/vassilii# mkswap --version
mkswap from util-linux-2.12
travel:/home/vassilii# dlocate /sbin/mkswap
util-linux: /sbin/mkswap
travel:/home/vassilii# dpkg --status util-linux

What is obsolete? I know that the scsi emulation for cdrw is obsolete,
but I was asking how to make sure that it doesn't happen in 2.6,
even when the SATA hard drive forces the SCSI storage drivers into existence.

Yeah, and if /dev/cdrom (/dev/cdrw in my case; the cdrom is another -
R/O - device) is mapped to a scsi emulation device, I get an error.
If I force a link cdrw -> hdd, it doesn't work at all because of
the conflict with the scsi emulation layer (AFAIU you may not use
an IDE device directly once it's grabbed by the scsi emulation).
(I'm away from the PC in question at this time, otherwise I would
have cited the precise error msgs. If you need additional input,
please tell me.)
