The real scsi will appear under sdxx such as sda1.


Except that it doesn't.  In fact, it's not even detected in dmesg.

What I've done so far:

1) Added this to my grub boot parameters:

    hde=scsi ignore=hde

2) Created an /etc/modutils/cdrw:

    # First, get the ide-cd drive to not latch onto /dev/hdd
    options ide-cd ignore=hde
    #
    #
    # Set up an alias for /dev/scd0 to load sr_mod
    alias scd1 sr_mod
    #
    #
    # Now get ide-cd followed by ide-scsi loaded before the SCSI drivers
    pre-install sg        modprobe ide-scsi
    pre-install sr_mod    modprobe ide-scsi
    pre-install ide-scsi  modprobe ide-cd

3) Ran update-modules.

4) Added `ide-scsi' and `sg' to /etc/modules.

5) Rebooted.

Anything I missed


Does lsmod show the low-level driver for the scsi card? If not,
put it in /etc/modules. Does lsmod show the rest of the drivers
you've attempted?

http://www.linuxdocs.org/HOWTOs/SCSI-2.4-HOWTO/index.html
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/SCSI-Generic-HOWTO/

Drivers for card and scsi system in: cat /proc/scsi

Before doing all that stuff in /etc/modutils, i'd try the
driver install sequence by hand one step at a time, then
duplicate the working sequence with /etc/modules and
/etc/modutils.
