I took out the hdd=ide-scsi and was able to burn CDs, without the parameter to the kernel.
RH8 stunk for burning CDRs in my situation. I believe that enabling the DMA and locking down magicdev worked to reduce the burning CDs problem.
Can you explain to me how Red Hat saw your IDE burner as a SCSI device so that cdrecord could function on it, w/out the above mentioned kernel argument?
After upgrading to RH9, the kernel parameter never was needed, . someone mentioned that it was no longer required. I took it out of my grub.conf file, then burned a CD. It worked instantly.
Both of my CDROMS (one reader and one burner) have been recognized as /dev/scd0 and /dev/scd1 for awhile.
If I added anything that was not due to shrike or phoebe. It might be that I upgraded my modutils from kernel.org, under Rusty's directory.
Under xcdroast, I had to identify the correct specs for the burner. By default, it was setup as two different possible units. That was before I took out the hdd=ide-scsi call to the kernel though.
