hmm, I removed scsi_hostadapter from /etc/modules and that seems to have restored the old behaviour with ide-scsi only on the drive specified in append. OTOH, this didn't fix my problem which is that the system slows down to a crawl when reading DVDs. I had this behaviour once when I played with scsi emu on ide readers which is why I suspected the scsi emu. Also, with scsi enabled the kernel reports DMA off for both drives. Without scsi, kernel reports UDMA(33) for the DVD. Suppose I keep scsi emu on the DVD, do I then have to patch the /etc/devfs/*.conf files to point at the right devices? - Mark
