Since compiling the modules into the kernel, there have been no lock problems.

I have two IDE drives and I'm *not* using the append line, yet the drives are still setup correctly as SCSI. Why don't I need the append= line?AIUI, if you have ide-cd and ide-scsi (and sr_mod) compiled into the kernel, ide-scsi will win and take everything. I compile all the ide-scsi (and scsi) stuff as modules, because it's possible to play with them without a reboot.Ah, I see. My assumption was wrong then. I thought that the append= in lilo was to pass things into compiled-in code, where modules loaded with insmod could be passed in settings when they were being loaded. But does that mean that if you only want one drive to be ide-scsi that you need to use modules?Well thankfully we both have working cdwriters , I too have everything compiled into the kernel... I also use the append line as so: kernel = /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20 noapic nosmp root=/dev/hda12 hdc=ide-scsi pci=biosirq vga=normal but I have heard that people had problems with scsi grabbing normal (cd?) drives and having to add :ide-cd ignore=hdx presumably b/c the ide-cd will grab before the scsi - which is actually the opposite of what Mr. Weir said. I don't really know which is true.
P.S. I forgot to mention I have: CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD=y
# Old CD-ROM drivers (not SCSI, not IDE)
# CONFIG_CD_NO_IDESCSI is not set
in my kernel... it takes signifigantly longer for my machine to "mount"
and "seek" (for example changing songs on an audio disk - obviously
unmounted) when using the scsi mode as opposed to just idecd on the same
drive. I don't know if anyone can account for this or offer a solution.
I got so tired of configuring modules that I gave up and just put all in the kernel - even though I think I could get more "control" of things with modules (ie. my soundblaster live! 5.1)... Shawn
