[repost - the last attempt seems to have vanished]
Someone mentioned that the kernel boot line 'ide-hdc=scsi' magic (or
whatever it is) that provides a SCSI veneer over IDE drives for cdrecord
is now no longer needed.
I gave it a bash, and it's true, I don't need to do it in order to
burn (indeed, xcdroast can now see my DVD ROM drive as a source drive
where it couldn't before [I couldn't play DVDs if that drive had been
SCSIfied]).
So, out of interest, what magic is now in RH9 that lets this work? I
can't see that anything obvious has been added to modules.conf (although
my knowledge of how this correlates to the kernel boot args is hazy anyway).
