Since this is an upgrade from 7.0 to 8.0 check and see if you possibly
have some extra statements in /etc/modules.conf file.
------------------------------------------------------
alias block-major-11 scsi_hostadapter <------------- ***
pre-install plip modprobe parport_pc ; echo 7 > /proc/parport/0/irq
alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi
-------------------------------------------------------
For some reason the line, left after the upgrade, "alias block-major-11
scsi_hostadapter" caused a lot of problems.
On a clean install of LM 8.0 this line never appeared in the
modules.conf file and things work fine.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
.. This is from a clean 8.0 install, works fine.
** notice there is only one reference to ide-scsi ***
pre-install pcmcia_core CARDMGR_OPTS=-f /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start
alias usb-interface usb-uhci
alias sound-slot-0 emu10k1
alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi
alias eth0 8139too
--------------------------------------------------------------
I did work on one machine for about 2 weeks with cd-writer acting up
such as you have ... finally discovered it was a drive gone bad. It just
did it at the time of the upgrade.
