If I read this right, the CD-R/W on hdd works fine, but a separate DVD drive on hdc does not work (in SCSI-IDE emulation).
If the DVD drive is an IDE drive, you can either access it as an IDE device -OR- add it to this "ignore" line and let the SCSI-IDE stuff pick it up. But you can't do both. But ... in the modules.conf file, you only have one IDE device in the ignore line: > options ide-cd ignore=hdd # tell the ide-cd module to ignore hdd You need to tell the IDE stuff to ignore the DVD drive as well (apparently hdc from what you wrote below) if you want the SCSI-IDE modules to manage it. (Once again, I'm not sure of the exact syntax, since Debian handles modules a wee bit differently from the RH-descended distros.) This is all a guess, of course, since I'm interpolating a lot to fill in blanks. How, for example, do you now access the DVD for playback? I'm guessing /dev/dvd symlinks to /dev/hdc, not to /dev/scd1 . If so, that's a sure sign that you haven't moved it from IDE to SCSI-IDE. BTW, Ken, I have IDE-CD compiled in my 2.4.17 kernel, and I can access my CD-R/W just fine. I do need to include an append= line in lilo.conf telling the IDE stuff to ignore hdd, so the SCSI-IDE modules can later grab it. I don't know if Mark's use of ignore in modules.conf completely substitutes for this, or if his method only works when ide-cd is a module.
