For the record, the ide-scsi module and the Highpoint HPT370 IDE chipset
just don't work together.  I've made about 15 coasters in the process of
trying to get my cd burner to work, and only now that I've moved it off of
the UDMA channel (/dev/hde - /dev/hdh) to the low speed IDE channels it
actually works without errors.

Expect to see things like "scsi sendcmd: write_g1: Input/output error: No
error", which seem to actually mean bugs in either ide-scsi or hpt366,
making assumptions about how the IDE interface works.  IMHO that's because
ide-scsi has been tested with the stock standard ide drivers more than the
special chipset drivers.

So, for all you out there wanting to speed up transfers to your burner by
putting it on a fast channel, be warned that there might be
incompatibilities between ide-scsi and your chipset driver.

(And as an aside, always make sure you make a bootdisk for your current
kernel before rearranging your computers insides, you never know what small
change might suddenly cause your bootloader to decide not to boot anything.)
