Yep, once I corrected my syntax error in grub.conf, I see meaningful stuff from dmesg that looks similar to yours.
I had noticed while searching through old postings that the "hdd=ide-scsi" option in grub.conf should have directly followed the "kernel /boot/vmlinuz ... " line, not been on a line if its own.
I also see ide-scsi and scsi-mod from lsmod.
And I now see the bus/target/lun numbers with "cdrecord -scanbus".
The only thing I'm unclear about now is the need for an alias in modules.conf. I need to be able to mount the rascal now, don't I ? I see some references to the alias, linking ide-scsi to scsi device names in old postings, but I'm not clear about it.
Thanks!

Julian, The device does not actually show up as a scsi device with a scsi id, it simply emulates scsi communications.
Do you get something like this from dmesg: dmesg|grep hdg Kernel command line: ro root=LABEL=/ hdg=ide-scsi ide_setup: hdg=ide-scsi ide3: BM-DMA at 0xd608-0xd60f, BIOS settings: hdg:pio, hdh:pio hdg: HP CD-Writer+ 7100, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive hdg: attached ide-scsi driver.
If so, things are fine. You can also run lsmod and you should see ide-scsi and scsi_mod loaded.
