 I get the warning, too.  So far, I haven't had any problems burning a CD.

 The 16x writer in my desktop has given similar results.

boot without my usual 'hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi' and tried

2003-10-07 Thread Bill Kenworthy
I tried it once (not on the i8.2k though) and found it had so much load,
that many CD's became coasters after bus timeouts - scsi emulation was
OK.  However, I had issues with DMA at the time that are now fixed, so I
need to have another go.  Also, some applications such as dvdrip (I
think) refused to use it.

The problem is that you still have ide-cd support (probably) compiled 
into the kernel. Because of this, the CD-RW is grabbed by this driver 
before the ide-scsi module can load. Adding 'hdc=ide-scsi' or just 
completely removing ide-cd support from the kernel will prevent the 
CD-RW from being grabbed by another driver.

Try putting the following in /etc/modules.d/cdrw

options ide-cd ignore=hdc
alias scd0 sr_mod
pre-install sg modprobe -k ide-scsi
pre-install sr_mod modprobe -k ide-scsi
pre-install ide-scsi modprobe -k ide-cd

Then:

# modules-update

You may need to reboot.

Also; ide-cd, ide-scsi, sr_mod and sg must all be modules.
