Re: cdrecord -scanbus fails



Hi,
You could also try set in the append option in lilo: ignore=hdd (or hdc) this 
will make the system ignore if there are hdc or hdd and ide-scsi will work 
fine. Also verify that in /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh You don't have any hdparm 
command pointing to the concerned drive.

regards
Matej
