My reader only CDROM is the primary drive on the secondary controller card. Therefore, it is considered hdc. It should be addressed as an IDE drive, since I don't have the ide-scsi driver loaded for the reader. My burner has the jumper removed and ia considered the secondary drive on the secondary controller. It uses the hdd=ide-scsi parameter at boot for the kernel. Since it is the secondary drive on the secondary controller, I don't know why it is referred to as /dev/scd0, but it works as this device. I am not familiar as to how scsi devices get numbered. I guess it isn't the same as that for IDE drives. The jumper settings seem to have little to do with referencing the drive order. When some program decided to call /dev/scd1, it tried to burn on my reader. The program that tried to burn on the reader was xcdroast. It hung for awhile, then died out, with a blank dialog box with only the error prompt. About the order of the entries in /etc/fstab, I don't know if it really matters, except that it most likely reads the file and initializes processes as it goes along through the loading. I'm at a loss as to why this file changes so frequently. It would be nice to be able to have some predictability as to what the scsi letters would be for the devices. I like the order that there is for IDE drives. The scsi device ordering doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I'm not really familiar with the scheme.

I usually try to upgrade from the lone version to the next. It usually works out alright. Though, I missed out on some enhancements before, because of the update process not adding the newer features to the upgraded version. I upgraded from version 8 to phoebe2, then to phoebe3. All through using up2date. Other than the above mentioned problem and having to clear the gnome-terminal upon exiting some programs. It works pretty decent. I figure that I have the latest programs from RH8 that never were upgraded for phoebe,. There is a lot of these programs. I just thought to ask if you upgraded to the latest programs that are on up2date. I think that you probably have. But just asking.
