Hi, everyone! I have a system with a regular CDROM drive (hdb) AND a CDRW drive (hdd). To get RH7.3 to install, I had to type "linux hdd=ide-scsi" at the install boot prompt. The install completed successfully; however, when trying to boot, rc.sysinit hangs when executing "modprobe ide-scsi". If I disconnect one of the CD drives, it boots with no problem. I've tried adding the following to /etc/modules.conf: alias hdb ide-scsi alias hdd ide-scsi
but still no luck. I've also tried appending "hdd=ide-scsi" to the kernel arguments in /etc/grub.conf but still just results in rc.sysinit hanging at "modprobe ide-scsi". I've recompiled the kernel to not use ide-cd AT ALL and to use the ide-scsi module. This allows the system to boot, but the CD drives aren't recognized as SCSI and the /dev/cdrom* point to /dev/hdb and /dev/hdd. ARGH! Any ideas on how I can get this fixed?
