Hi! I have been using gentoo-sources-2.4.19-r10 but wanted to test the gaming-sources-2.4.20-r2. I have faced many problems with the new kernel but cd-writer problem is the biggest.

I had ide-scsi emulation working with 2.4.19 => cd-writing worked fine. Then I copied my old configuration and did make oldconfig for 2.4.20 kernel. I also applied cryptoapi patch for the kernel by myself. Now I can't figure out why the new kernel doesn't want to see my writer as a scsi-device. It only see two ide-devices but it should see one ide and one scsi. I enabled packet-writing in the configuration of the new kernel.

Code:

root@herku petu # cdrecord -scanbus
Cdrecord 2.0 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2002 Jörg Schilling
cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open '/dev/pg*'. Cannot open SCSI driver.
cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are root.
cdrecord: For possible transport specifiers try 'cdrecord dev=help'.

I have in my /etc/modules.d/cdr
options ide-cd ignore='hdc'

rename hdc to whatever you actual drive is.

Did this and ran modules-update and rebooted but didn't help. I thought could the problem be the same as with this bug https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17762

ADDED 10:03 am (London time) I got ide-scsi working. I had to compile ide-cd and ide-scsi both as modules and then first load ide-scsi and then ide-cd. This is strange because in 2.4.19 I had ide-cd compiled in the kernel and not as a module. Also kernel help for ide-scsi only states that if both ide-scsi and ide-cd are comiled in the kernel then ide-cd is used but I always had ide-scsi as a module.
