Richard,


Thank you for your kind reply. Is your Pioneer DVD a writer with scsi
emulation.

No it's my dvd and I have it under scsi-emulation as well as my mitsumi writer
it has certain advantages, not compulsory, it's entirely your choice.

Only my writer mitsumi hdd is in scsi emulation mode. The
reader Teac hdc is strictly ide. I am concerned not to disrupt the
efficient working of my reader.

I include my important files at the end of this reply for your comments.
I thank you for your time in this matter, it seems other's have a
similar problem.

Seasons greetings,

Malcolm Candlish.

/etc/fstab

This is supermount, for some people, myself included, it does not work well
with scsi-emulation, and so I choose to have the alternative, which I list here,

/dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom auto user,iocharset=iso8859-15,umask=0,exec,codepage=850,ro,noauto 0 0
/dev/scd1 /mnt/cdrom2 auto user,iocharset=iso8859-15,umask=0,exec,codepage=850,ro,noauto 0 0

none /mnt/floppy supermount
dev=/dev/fd0,fs=auto,--,user,iocharset=iso8859-15,sync,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/nt ntfs ro,umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-15 0 0

/etc/lilo.conf

boot=/dev/hda
vga=normal
default=Mandrake
prompt
timeout=100
message=/boot/message
menu-scheme=wb:bw:wb:bw
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.19-16mdk

	initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.19-16mdk.img
	append="quiet devfs=mount hdd=ide-scsi"
	read-only
other=/dev/hda1
	label=windows

append="quiet devfs=mount hdd=ide-scsi" is just fine
only if you want your rom under scsi-em then add another hdX=ide-scsi where X is the appropriate drive nomenclature
the choice is yours, only I seem to remember you wanted xcdroast to recognise both your rom and writer.
