Re: [PLUG] CDROM making me crazy

[Paul <paul@dpagin.net>]

Just work with ide-scsi.  Since it works for everything else, and you 
have other real SCSI devices, why fight it?  Just set up the CD-ROM 
drive as if it were a CD writer; address it as a SCSI device.

You can set module options in modules.conf, lilo.conf, or grub.conf.  
Focus on the options for ide-scsi.

After you get your drive running you might want to enable DMA.  I saw 
that DMA was disabled on the secondary controller.  Test the setting 
with hdparm first.
