First, appologies if this post does not belong here. I have been unsuccessful at getting any answer to this question, and am turning here as a last resort. I have a somewhat strange "problem" with using a CDRW. I am running kernel 2.4.4 right now, and have a CDRW which I have configured for scsi emulation in order to use the cd-burning function of the drive. That isn't the question - that works just fine. THe question is that I am using the command line option "hdd=ide-scsi" on my boot command, rather than "hdd=scsi" as I understand I should be doing for a 2.4.x kernel. Today, I read through the source code for ide.c to see where this parameter is parsed, and that code seems to confirm that I should be using "hdd=scsi" and not hdd="ide=scsi". Yet, my system works fine using ide-scsi, and when I try hdd=scsi, then the drive is not properly configued for scsi emulation. Can anyone explain this to me? It isn't that I have a "problem" becuase it works the way I need it to, but I just hate not understanding WHY it works, so that when it breaks on the next kernel upgrade, I won't be sure what to do. I am not subscribed to this mailing list, so please direct a response to me personally. Thanks for any help.
