I have been using mdk 9.1 for a number of months now without any
problems and of course I got bored and decided to fiddle with the
system,BIG mistake, ie update my nvidia drivers,unfortunately I
broke the system,no problem I thought all I need to do is
re-install mdk and I can still keep all my settings,data etc,this
is what I did and everything seemed to work to plan except that I
can no longer use k3b it keeps showing the error:
No support for ATAPI with cdrdao enable ide-scsi (SCSI emulation)
as far as I know this has been enabled,see lilo below.
I also set cdrdao driver to generic-mmc, as advised but still no
joy.

I don't use k3b but what I hear is a reader must be scsi emulated in order to burn copy from it and wonder, if you have a cdrom, whether adding hdx=ide-scsi to the append="" statement and running lilo would satisfy k3b wrt this error, or, if /sbin/lilo somehow has not got executed during reinstall. I guess you could verify what parameters are passed at boot with cat /proc/cmdline.

Rolf, he already has hdd=ide-scsi in his lilo.conf. I wonder if he has checked that it really is hdd - though I can't see why it should have changed. It's worth checking also, that XCDRoast can't do what he needs. k3b doesn't work correctly on my system and xcdroast has no problem at all.

Yes, Anne, I saw that. What I am thinking of is that both the reader, if you have one, and the writer must be scsi-emulated for some apps to work. Here is a post where such advice to make the reader also scsi-emulated for k3b to work is mentioned: http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux-e/2003-Jul/2997.html
