Re: 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.
you use sarge so:
guess you had better repair your original installation and do as root
cdrecord -scanbus dev=ATA
or
cdrecord -scanbus dev=ATAPI (some think this is somewhat messier but
on my machine both work)
you should see your burner codes then
i hope i say/write this good: in the sarge-kernel scsi support is
automatic.
good luck,
