Hi all,
on a desktop machine I've recently replaced my old ide cdrom with a ide cd
burner. To burn anything I need scsi over ide: thus I've changed the /dev/cdrom
link from /dev/hdc to /dev/sr0. Everything works fine until I reboot the
machine: then kudzu kicks in, sees an ide device and restores the original
link.

Is there any way to tell kudzu to just leave the cd alone?

TIA,

---------------------------------
This is the burner entry in /etc/sysconfig/hwconf:
-
class: CDROM
bus: IDE
detached: 0
device: hdc
driver: ignore
desc: "YAMAHA CRW4416E"
-
(changing it has no effect, it gets overwritten each time kudzu is run).

My /etc/modules.conf goes like this:

options ide-cd ignore=hdc
alias cdrom sr_mod
pre-install ide-scsi modprobe imm
pre-install sg     modprobe ide-scsi
pre-install sr_mod modprobe ide-scsi
pre-install ide-scsi modprobe ide-cd

No, I'm not running 32 bit extensions for a 16 bit patch to an 8 bit operating

that can't stand 1 bit of competition...
