Re: SCSI, ATAPI and burners
When I did my original Woody installation I too had that problem, but with the
installation of sarge and a 2.6 kernel I no longer had to add scsi emulation
for my burner in lilo.conf or in grubs menu.1st.
I suggest upgrading yoru kernel to a proper 2.6.x kernel for your arch, you
will still have the option to boot the old kernel while you work out any bugs
you may have with the new kernel(as long as your /boot is large enough),
another one of my mistakes. I know better now, and have a /boot of 450MB,
with plenty of room to play with new kernels. 8-)
