I have an ATAPI Ricoh CDRW. In order to get it to work under M6.0
(unless you know something I don't) for the purposes of burning CDR's
and CDRW's, I had to recompile the Kernel, turn off support for ATAPI
CDROMs and turn on support for ide-scsi SCSI emulation for ATAPI CDROM
drives.
Is there any reason why we can't ship a kernel configuration with this
as default? Are there any problems associated with making all ATAPI
CDROMs emulate SCSI? What do you lose by using ide-scsi?
Alternatively, could the default Cooker kernels come compiled in with
modular support for ide-scsi? Supposedly there is a lilo directive for
telling the kernel to use ide-scsi for specific CDROM drives.
