I am trying to add a new HP9150 IDE CD-RW drive to my L-M 7.2 system. I have an existing CDROM (now the slave) and the new cd writer (now the master). I can read both drives as IDE CDROMs in Linux, and I can read and burn CD's in Windoze. I also have an Adaptec SCSI card and a small scsi drive that I use for swap. I know (I think) that I need to use ide-scsi to make the burner appear as a scsi device. And then to change the sym link for /mnt/cdrom to /dev/scd0. I also have added a lilo parameter hdc=ide-scsi I have read the help at http://www.mandrakeuser.org/hardware/hremov3.html as well as at http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/CD-Writing-HOWTO.html#toc2 If I follow the steps given in Mandrakeuser.org -- which basically say to change the sym link for 7.0 installations, it won't recognize the IDE drive as a scsi drive. If I follow the steps listed in the CD-Writing Howto, I don't have sr_mod.o module to complete the installation. Should I try and download this module? When I insmod ide-scsi the module loads without complaint. With both methods when I try cdrecord -scanbus I only see my SCSI swap drive. I'd appreciate any help you can offer. -- gvc
