I copied this from the list a few months ago: "If you have another ATAPI CD-ROM, you would want to add this line to your /etc/modutils/aliases file and run update-modules: pre-install ide-scsi modprobe ide-cd This causes the IDE driver to load before ide-scsi. It then takes control of the ATAPID CD-ROM -- anything that it hasn't been told to ignore. That leaves just the ignored devices for ide-scsi to control." But it assumes ide-cd is a module, so this may not work with if you have it compiled into kernel. -- Jerome
