I may be jumping in the middle of a converstion here, however from experiance my comments are pasted inbetween the lines below. > > options ide-cd ignore=hdd # tell the ide-cd module to ignore hdd ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Why exclude an ide cdrom, if i do not exclude my cdrom which is also /dev/hdd xcdroast finds it and i am able to use both cdroms. exclude it and i cant use it in xcdroast. > > alias scd0 sr_mod # load sr_mod upon access of scd0 > > alias scd1 sr_mod # load sr_mod upon access of scd1 <---- > > added from your file > > #pre-install ide-scsi modprobe imm # uncomment for some zip drives > > only pre-install sg modprobe ide-scsi # load ide-scsi before sg > > pre-install sr_mod modprobe ide-scsi # load ide-scsi before sr_mod > > pre-install ide-scsi modprobe ide-cd # load ide-cd before ide-scsi > > > > I can access them both the dvd and cd-rw through linux ok, just not the > > dvd with the cd burner programs (KOnCD or X-CD-Roast). if I type > > cdrecord --scanbus it only recognizes the cd-rw drive.

You can indeed use ide-scsi for 2 cdrom devices, however xcdroast is somewhat funny when it comes to 2 scsi devices. > > It's the best part of a year since I got my setup working, so the detail > is getting a little hazy.

I dont think kernel version's come into this question, more a question of what is compiled into ones kernel. I always say use a bog standard kernel (example of that is the distribution kernel installed when you installed linux). Too find out whats going on of course...
