Here's what I did, from memory:
I have IDE CD Drives: a CD-ROM and a CD-RW
/dev/hdc is the CD-ROM
/dev/hdd is the CD-RW
Compile the kernel with:
SCSI Support: built in
SCSI CD-ROM support: built in
SCSI Generic Support (sg): built in
SCSI Emulation (ide-scsi): as module
IDE-CDROM support (ide-cd): as module
LOOPBACK device: as module
I chose to build ide-scsi as a module so that I could still
use my CD-ROM as an IDE device. Here's what I added to
conf.modules:
options ide-scsi ignore=hdc
options ide-cd ignore=hdd
and to lilo.conf:
append="hdc=ide-cd hdd=ide-scsi"
I need these since whichever of the modules (ide-scsi or ide-cd)
loads first, will attempt to control both drives. The second
module gets squat. If you don't mind having both drives under
SCSI emulation, then don't build ide-scsi support at all, and
build SCSI emulation directly into the kernel.
Again, this is from memory. The thing that screwed me up
was that I was building some of the items like SCSI-generic
as modules, when support needed to be there during booting
process. Loading sg as a module won't work. The CD-Writing
HOWTO is (I believe) wrong in this case.
