Unfortunately the ide-scsi module doesn't take any "ignore" arguments like ide-cd does. I've looked at the source code for ide-scsi and it doesn't appear to take any arguments at all. I just might get brave and add the capability for ide-scsi to accept "ignore" arguments. After looking at the source code in ide-cd, adding the "ignore" arguments to ide-scsi shouldn't be too difficult. BUT - before I do that, I'm going to remove the 3Ware controller and only run hard drives connected to the mobo IDE channels. Once I've finished re-installing on that configuration, I'll make sure ide-scsi works fine since there won't be any other SCSI or pseudo-SCSI devices except the CDRW. Oleg, I really appreciate your suggestions.
