I have the newest kernel (2.4.0) and everything works fine except for my CD drives and zip (they were all working before kernel 2.4.0). First of all, I had to enable scsi emulation in order to burn CD's using my CD-RW under xcdroast. However, before I enabled scsi emuation, everything worked fine too (CD, zip ... ). But right now, for some reason when I enabled scsi emuation, it emulated only my zip drive. So I have no way of accessing it (or at least know of). So can someone help me out with that?
Second, in order to enable scsi emulation for my CD-RW (and DVD so I can duplicated CD and xcdroast can see it), I had to add a line the lilo.conf (append= "hdd=scsi hdc=scsi). So now, both of my CD-Roms are scsi emuated along with my zip drive. However, how do I access these drives? I know they exist somewhere since xcdroast sees them and allows me to duplicate CD's. ... I know this is a long post, but I really need help. So, to summarize: how can I specify NOT to scsi emulate my zip drive and/or how do I access these scsi emulated drives?

System Details:
Redhat 7.0 (2.4.0 kernel)
PIII
Diamond mx300
ATI Rage Fury Pro
DVD-ROM (secondary ide-master)
CD-RW (secondary ide-slave)
Zip disk (primary ide-slave)
Any thing else?


Thanks,

Remove the line hdc=scsi (that is the zip drive, assuming you have the right master slave setup listed).

Once that is done, you should be able to access your cdrom drive as /dev/sd0 I do believe.

If they are actually IDE (since I don't know what other types of devices can be SCSI emulated), then it should be append="hdd=ide-scsi hdc=ide-scsi", not just scsi
