Hi, I've bought a Sony CDRW 1611-82E that's an IDE/ATAPI CD Writter. When I try to burn a CD with cdrecord, system hangs hard. There're a lot of messages from kernel related to scsi emulation, the last one is something about "scsi timeout" and then a kernel core dump and system fully locked. This is a SuSE 7.3 with the default distribution kernel. I've added lilo entries "ide-scsi=hdx" for both, CD-Writter (secondary ide master) and CD-Reader (secondary ide slave). I've note a extrange thing when I load the ide-scsi module. Two entries FOR EACH device are created, so the writter is at same time /dev/sr0 and /dev/sr1 and reader is /dev/sr2 and /dev/sr3... one friend of my that uses Debian has told me that it has just one entry for each so I think that this could have something to see with the trouble.
From 'dmesg' output just after do a 'modprobe ide-scsi':
