Troubles with SCSI LUNS (IDE CD-RW with SCSI emulation)



Hi there,

My name's Francisco; I've been using LiNUX since years ago, but not a Debian 
distribution (I've tested a Debian 1.3.1 it years ago also but I drop it as 
soon as dselect appeared on stage...). Now I've decide to try it again and, 
in general, I like it a lot :-D

Well, and now my first little big trouble...

I've a Sony CD-RW CRX1611 that I've been using until yesterday below SuSE 
7.3. In SuSE, I must dissable its DMA and use max_scsi_luns=1 on lilo.conf 
append because both, cd-writer (/dev/hdc) and cd-rom (/dev/hdd) are detected 
as if they have two luns each one. I've the same trouble under Debian, but 
max_scsi_luns that resolve this on SuSE did NOT work in Debian... This is the 
lilo append line:

append="max_scsi_luns=1 hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi"

Of course, I've exec lilo after changes, reboot the system and these 
things... Take a look at boot messages:

[...]

Kernel command line: auto BOOT_IMAGE=Linux ro root=302 max_scsi_luns=1 
hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi

[...]

It seems like max_scsi_luns has no effect... :-/

I'm using woody, with 2.4.16-686 kernel.

Does anyone know what can I do with this?

TIA
