Yeap, I did . Now I try help you and maybe you can answer a question I asked
many times on this list with no luck (it is related ...)
The pb for me was to have hdc as ide and hdd as ide-scsi
I tried the lilo option : didn't do it (used to before though)
so here is the basic thing : in etc/conf.modules I put
alias sr0 ide-scsi
This will use ide-scsi for all cdroms which are not already of ide type. Probably
all what you need.
But lets go back to my pb :
I thought I could do this
alias hdc ide-cd
options ide-cd ignore=hdd
pre-install ide-scsi modprobe ide-cd
so the hdc would be taken by ide first . Nope since it looks like the pre-install
is BROKEN with 6.2 (this is my question ...)
now, if I do
alias hdc ide-cd
alias sr0 ide-scsi
below ide-scsi ide-cd
it works !
Note : I have had the exact same pb with bttv and tuner modules.
Normally you load the bttv module and pre-install the tuner. This is
broken with 6.2. But if you do :
below bttv tuner
it works.
Did anybody else experience and/or can confirm thet pre-install is broken with 6.2 ?
Thanks
Philippe
