Jostein, Thank you for your offer to help. My problem, which no one seems to understand, is nothing to do with links. It is that although the ide-scsi module is loaded, nothing prevents the ide-cd drivers from taking over hdc & hdd. I thought the append line in /etc/lilo.config was supposed to do this. In boot.msg I get the line '<6>scsi1 : SCSI host adaptor emulation for IDE ATAPI devices' but no mention of scd0, scd1 because earlier in the boot process the ide drivers have loaded. XCDRoast cannot see the CD drives but can see my scsi scanner on scsi0 I have overcome all the linux newbie problems in the last few months and now have a fully working system except for cd writing, which is essential to me. Regards Peter Darren I have tried the initrd_modules line but no luck
Hi, perhaps if you posted your lilo.conf it would be easier to tell what the problem is. I'm guessing there's some syntax problem in there. Anders On Thursday 30 August 2001 22.47, Peter Dixson wrote:

Yet, if the ide-cd.o get loaded first, ide-scsi.o won't see it. In modules.conf there are ignore statements that you pass the ide.o driver so that ide-scsi will detect the drives. If you are using 7.1+ Pro, there should be a section in the administration manual that tells the steps for doing this. I believe it is something like: If hdc was the CD-burner as master on your secondary IDE chain, you would edit the following files... In /etc/modules.conf: options ide-cd ignore=hdc # You can add this above entry at the end of the file. I would also # comment the line, date it, and initial it so that you can remember what # you did and when later... :) In /etc/lilo.conf: append = "hdc=ide-scsi" # For every boot entry. I have this statement at the end of my label # sections and before my next "image = /" statements... I hope this helps... Don't forget to run lilo afterward. Jonathan
Hi; Type under root: cat /proc/scsi/scsi This tells you everything thats attached to the scsi adapter. Are your cd drives listed? On Thursday 30 August 2001 8:47 pm, Peter Dixon wrote:
