 I would burn my CDs on Linux but with a IDE-CDRW as Yahama 4416 the
 common progs as cdwrite, cdrecord and Gcombust seem not works (and
 explain that I have to activate the IDE-SCSI emulation).

After doing some thinking on this one it looks like even with the newer
kernels, a recompile will be required enabling the scsi emulation to get
stuff like CDRoast working with IDE drives (shame really).

Does anyone know if there is a linux CDR program around that will support
ide drives ??

If not, is there anyone out there who fancies doing a recompile of the
kernel from a standard mandrake install (might as well wait until version
6), leaving all options as standard, but enable the scsi emulation with a
view to producing an RPM for all the people who want scsi emulation but are
afraid to do the recompile.

I don't mind giving it a go myself as i'm really not shy of these things,
but whenever i've done a kernel recompile in the past, lots of other things
(mainly networking) have not come back up fully operational ;-(.

Martin.

 Earlier today i replied to this post saying that i would give this a
go...
 
 I now have a 2.2.5 based machine installed, and as i suspected i can
see and
 use my IDE CDR no problem (without SCSI emulation). However i am
only using
 it as per a normal cd rom drive (ie no writing).
 
 Having stopped to consider this a bit further, i am confused as to
how i
 would not need to reconfigure the kernel for SCSI emulation. In the
case of
 software like CDRoast, (when i tried it 3/4 months ago anyway), it
only
 supported scsi drives.
 
 Roberto, can you explain yourself further or am i barking up the
wrong tree
 (as well as barking mad !).

   1. Make sure that you have a current source tree (it's in
  /usr/src/linux)
  
 
   Hi,
 
   there is a good chance that with 2.2.5 version of kernel and after
  there no need to be recompile kernel. I suppose it to see the
strange
  mode of acces to my yamaha 4416 EIDE.
 
   If someone can adds more, do it please.
