Yes, your drive is ide/atapi, but you're emulating it as ide-scsi. This means that even though your drive is ide/atapi, your system now thinks that it is a scsi drive. So, you need both scsi cd-rom support, and generic scsi. Greg On Sun, May 05, 2002 at 08:04:51PM -0400, Igor Gueths wrote: > Hi. Ide_scsi=y CONFIG_SCSI=y.
