Fine, this workes. :-)
So I have an "alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi" in /etc/modules.conf
and the "hdc=ide-scsi" added to the kernel line in /boot/grub/grub.conf,
but do I now have to re-initialize grub, or will it find that when
rebooting?
Actually I have rebooted, but now there is no /dev/hdc. :-))
Does that mean I also need to specify a "modprobe ide-scsi" in some
of the scripts that get started when entering the runlevel? If
yes, what file might this be?
Or am I wrong here and /dev/hdc is not needed?
The setup dialog of k3b _now_ lists the DVD combo drive as follows:
/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd (0,0,0)
But when I want to add this as my preferred Reader too it would tell
me "There is no additional drive at /dev/scsi/host0/bu...".
Still, this is exactly what I need, since the drive is both a reader
and a writer (at least for CDs).
