Pass "hdd=ide-scsi" (substitute the appropriate device name) to the
kernel at boot time (in /etc/grub.conf or /etc/lilo.conf), and if you
don't have any other scsi devices (including usb storage), add these
lines to /etc/modules.conf:

    options ide-cd ignore=hdd
    alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi

If you use usb storage devices, add these lines instead:

    options ide-cd ignore=hdd
    # scsi discs (includes usb storage)
    alias block-major-8       sd_mod
    pre-install sd_mod /sbin/modprobe -k usb-storage
    post-remove sd_mod /sbin/modprobe -r usb-storage
    # scsi cds (includes ide cd-r/w using scsi emulation)
    alias block-major-11 sr_mod
    pre-install sr_mod /sbin/modprobe -k ide-scsi
    post-remove sr_mod /sbin/modprobe -r ide-scsi

This is for a 2.4 kernel.


Cheers,

John

Oooh!  I know this one!  You attach a couple of carbon brushes and
generate electricity as they spin around.   -- Richard P. Grant
