I didn't recompile a kernel (although I'm running kernel 2.2.18pre21 from a deb
in woody). I simply added "hdd=ide-scsi" to the append option in /etc/lilo.conf.
I also added the modules sg.o (generic scsi support) and ide-scsi.o (ide scsi
emulation) to make it work. I added these using modconf. HTH.
