Hi there:

Guee I am new around here, so hello everyone.

In order to be able to burn CDs using my ATAPI DVD/CDRW drive On my Debian 
GNU/Linux system, I did the 
followings to get ide-scsi emulation working.

I first loaded the ide-scsi module using modconf (Debian's utility for loading 
modules).
Then Added the following lines to /etc/modutils/actions (Which automatically 
reflects it's contents into /etc/modules.conf )

"alias scd2 srmod
alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi
options ide-cd ignore=hdc"

Then added the following line to /etc/lilo.conf right after the "root=" line

"append="hdc=ide-scsi" 

I rerun lilo, then rebooted and changed /etc/fstab to mount /dev/scd2 instead 
of /dev/cdrom. 

I thouht that was it, I started burning CDs, and everything was OK, untill I 
saw that I have two problems

1. My USB programs can't detect USB devices, e.g gtkam can't detect my digital 
camera, and my mp3 player program can't detect my mp3 player. My USB devices 
(at least my digital camera I am sure) used to work perfectly before the 
emulation thing.

2. I Can't play Audio CDs, when I insert an audio CD and then for example run 
"cdplay" it gives me a "nodisc" message. No program is able to see the Audio 
CD.

Though these two may seem unrelated to each other, but they both happened 
after the ide scsi emulation thing. I had IDE SCSI emulation when I used 
RedHat 7.3, without any of these problems.

Any Ideas on why these are happenning?

Cheers
Aryan
