1. I tried to build cdrtools-2.00.3 (remember cdrecord?) under linux kernel ver 2.6.0-test4, using the compiler gcc-3.3.1. For some reason, libscg could not be built, since the system chokes on the include file <linux/scsi.h>. At first I thought it was the compiler so I downgraded to gcc-2.95.3, but even with this older compiler, a syntax error on reading <linux/scsi.h> is still generated, and so libscg could not be built. So I decided to change to the linux-2.4.22 source tree, so that /usr/include/linux now points to /usr/src/linux-2.4.22/include/linux and not into the linux-2.6.0-test4 directory. With this, the build proceeded successfully with either gcc-2.95.3 or gcc-3.3.1. I think the moral lesson here is -- if you stay on the bleeding edge, be prepared to bleed sometimes.
2. The "Wonderful World of Linux 2.6" document mentions that 2.6 does not need to do ide-scsi emulation when doing CD writing on an IDE CD writer. I have been trying to read the docs, but neither the linux-2.6.0-test4 sources nor the cdrtools-2.00.3 sources give any hint as to how to do this. Maybe I am not reading the proper docs. Any help please?
