Well, I've been trying to get SCSI-emulation working, but I can't. :cry: Whatever I do or change, cdrecord outputs the following error :
Code:

root@Voyager nalixl # cdrecord -scanbus
Cdrecord 2.01a12 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2003 J?rg 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'.

This seems to be right, since "ls /dev/pg*" returns nothing.
I've added the ide-scsi and sg modules to my /etc/modules.autoload, and they're loaded succesfully. My lilo.conf looks like this :
Code:
                                                                               
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
prompt
timeout=50
lba32
default=WinXP
image=/boot/bzImage
        label=Gentoo
        read-only
        root=/dev/hdb5
        append="hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi"
                                                                               
other=/dev/hda1
        label=WinXP

The current running kernel is 2.4.20-gentoo-r2. I did not notice any errors at startup that could be of inportance for this question. I also already tried the tips mentioned at this topic , also without any result.

Anyone have an idea what could be going on here?

I had similar problem and I solved it by compiling ide-cd as a module. Then I put ide-cd after ide-scsi to /etc/modules.autoload

I think there has been a change in the command line, but I can't be entirely sure.

Try these 4: hdd=scsi, hdd=ide, hdd=scsi-ide, hdd=ide-scsi and see what happens.

I'm using gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r4 and grub (GNU GRUB 0.92)
and for me this works in /boot/grub/menu.lst

Code:

default 0
timeout 30
splashimage=(hd1,2)/grub/splash.xpm.gz

title=Gentoo 2.4.20-gentoo-r4
root=(hd1,2)
kernel /boot/linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r4 hdc=ide-scsi root=/dev/hdb1 vga=791
initrd=/boot/initrd

frontends...no...
:)
don't let that stop you! just use the command line. mkfs blah blah blah to get your ISO for data CDs.

I hear K3b supports it though. Other than that I don't know of any.
