Hi Darryl,
I too use the Pexwriter (IDE) along with some other ide drives and have
managed to get it to work.
The default kernel that came with LM 8.0 2.4.3-20mdk did not quite work
for my setup as I was getting access errors on the Plex cdrw. I upgraded
it to 2.4.3-23mdk and it seems to work fine (I also compiled 2.4.4 and
am using it too).
Here are some of the system config files....
/etc/lilolilo.conf
--------------
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.4
label=linux-2.4.4
root=/dev/hdb5
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.4.img
append=" hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi"
read-only
(I have a dvdrom on hdc and the plexwriter on hdd)
/etc/fstab
---------
/dev/scd0 /mnt/dvdrom auto noauto,user,ro 0 0
/dev/scd1 /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,user,ro 0 0
/etc/modules.conf
----------------
# #
# # Pioneer DVD ROM and Plextor CD/RW drive to SCSI configuration
alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi
probeall block-major-11 ide-scsi sr_mod
options ide-cd ignore=hdc;hdd
probeall block-major-21 ide-scsi sr_mod sg
/dev

I hope that helps with your problem. TTFN.
Mark
