sarge; ide-detect, and scsi emulation
There appears to be in 2004 version of sarge and I don't yet know if it
also exists in 2005 version of sarge a rather messy situation for those
wanting to be able to burn data CD 's. Normally ide-cd and ide-detect
load themselves into /etc/modules by virtue of hardware detection on
installation. Once that happens, cdrecord -scanbus cannot detect the cd
burning drive. Okay, removing ide-cd and ide-detect from /etc/modules and
replacing them with sg sr_mod and ide-scsi gets a mess up on boot up with
repeated identical errors. However burning data CD's becomes possible.
I have used lilo.conf and now use grub and menu.lst with no different
results. If both ide-cd and ide-detect along with scsi modules are in
/etc/modules, it's as if the scsi modules don't exist and were never
loaded and cdrecord -scanbus reacts accordingly. It could be ide-cd and
ide-detect are badly behaved in this situation refusing to get along with
the scsi modules and unfortunately cdrecord -scanbus then can't find the
cd burner.
