Dear sirs, i would agree if the errors appeared only when i pass ide-scsi at
boot time.
But when i didn't pass it, i can neither access the cdrom drive !!!
When i use the linus kernel, i have the same problem, so i think it is a
kernel-related problem, not just llinked to ide-cd nor ide-scsi nor
supermount.
