First, did you compile ide-scsi support into the kernel or as a module? 'hdx=scsi' is only valid, if compiled into the kernel and not as a module. Did you compile ide-cd support into the kernel or as a module? If it's a module, you don't need to do anything on the command line, just set up /etc/modutils/aliases to have: alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi And then just use /dev/sr0 as you would for a 'real' SCSI cd drive. -- Tom Rini (TR1265) http://gate.crashing.org/~trini/
