If you (and m ritch) would have read the help on the
SCSI emulation support (CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDESCSI) you would have
read the following:
WARNING: ide-scsi is no longer needed for cd writing applications!
Ide-scsi is not required in the 2.6.x kernels!
There are a number of ways to use cdrecord in the newer kernels.
My cdrw drive is on /dev/hdc and this works for me
cdrecord speed=10 dev=/dev/hdc blank=fast
cdrecord dev/ATA -scanbus says
scsibus1:
1,0,0 100) 'PLEXTOR ' 'CD-R PX-W1210A' '1.08' Removable CD-ROM
and
cdrecord dev/ATAPI -scanbus says
scsibus0:
0,0,0 0) 'PLEXTOR ' 'CD-R PX-W1210A' '1.08' Removable CD-ROM
and using those results also works, here.
ie
cdrecord speed=10 dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 blank=fast or
cdrecord speed=10 dev=ATA:1,0,0 blank=fast
So the choice is yours. Some have reported that ATA uses DMA but
I have not seen any difference in any of the 3 methods.
You might want to do a google search for the CDRW Howto. It has all
the information you could use to help in using your cdwriter.
