Sorry for the delay in replying, just changed PC's.
Not sure that my 'hd?=ide-scsi' statements are preventing the kernel from
loading the cd drives up as ide. It happily accepts the statements, but when
it comes to the scsi bit, it says 0 hosts (when it gets to the modules
section it changes it's mind and finds my adaptec card, but that's
different).
Consequently, later i do a 'modprode ide-scsi'. This seems to work okay, but
a 'mount /dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom' comes back telling me that /dev/sr0 is not a
valid block device (or does it say /dev/sr0 doesn't exist - can't remember).
Presumably this is because the emulated adapter wasn't found in the first
place.
Any suggestions ?
Haven't had much time lately, but i will try and find the time to go off and
checkout the link you supplied.
Martin.
