 I recently installed Mandrake 8.2 and my second ide dvd drive was
 recognised and configured except the scsi emulation was missed. I had
 to add it to the append=devfs= ... line in lilo.conf.
 Then I had to correct /etc/fstab to match.

 It seems to be mostly OK now. Before the fix the drive was not
 discovered by any cd burning applications.

I have a couple (relating to the Speedtouch USB and font support) and 
eventually found:

It uses Bugzilla - probably the most impenetrable Web application known 
to mortal Man ...

Now my ATAPI CDRW/DVD was detected and set up as a CDRW, but I had to 
make the /dev/cdrom and /dev/dvd links to make the program(s) serving it 
work.

That is a known bug and it is in the hardware detection, not the stuff 
set up by install (as mine is).  Not all cdrw/dvds are created equal, 
and I am glad the blasted things work this round--mostly, before this, 
they didn't.
