As a long time Mandrake user, I am continually pleased
with the contributions to Expert, and have had
numerous questions answered by the talent and resource
of everyone's contributions.

I am experiencing a minor challenge with an 8.2
production workstation. I am running a stock
2.4.19-16mdksmp on a Dell Precision 410, loaded with
multiple SCSI drives, video capture, and a single IDE
interface. When I added a SCSI CDRW drive to the
system, the IDE CDROM was no longer recognized on
boot, and I haven't been able to figure out how to
configure it. Ripping and Burning is so much faster
with two separate drives, and the fact that one is
sitting idle, is quite frustrating. Before the
addition of the SCSI CDRW, /dev/cdrom pointed to the
IDE connected CDROM.
Character devices:
  1 mem
  2 pty/m%d
  3 pty/s%d
  4 tts/%d
  5 cua/%d
  6 lp
  7 vcs
 10 misc
 14 sound
 21 sg
 29 fb
 81 video_capture
128 ptm
136 pts/%d
162 raw

Block devices:
  1 ramdisk
  2 fd
  8 sd
  9 md
 11 sr
 65 sd
 66 sd

And under /dev, cdrom is setup as follows:
cdrom -> cdroms/cdrom0
where cdrom0 -> ../scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/cd.

So, how do I make use of the IDE CDROM? There are no
entries in the /dev directory pointing to any /dev/h*,
as the entire system is SCSI, sans the IDE based
CDROM.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Joseph
