I've never used gnometoaster, but if it is anything like xcdroast then yes, they *expect* the cdrom devices to be scsi.

If that doesn't work, then try putting this into /etc/modules.conf options ide-cd ignore=/dev/hdc,/dev/hdd If you need this configuration at bootup, then you might need to run mkinitrd so that those parameters are added to the initrd. BTW, I believe that the forthcoming 2.6.x production kernels will be able to handle IDE cdrom/dvd writers natively, without expecting them to be scsi devices. At which point all this crap will simply go away - and these sorts of utilities will then need to be re-written to cope with this :) Quite frankly, I'm puzzled that they haven't been written to simply accept ide cdroms as valid devices to read from... perhaps there are technical reasons, I don't know.
