Hi

 I downloaded kernel 2.6.9 and finally decided to go without SCSI emulation.
The modules loaded are :

ide_cd 42784 0
cdrom 40860 1 ide_cd
snd_pcm_oss 53672 0
snd_mixer_oss 20992 1 snd_pcm_oss

orinoco_cs 10376 1

soundcore 10976 1 snd
snd_page_alloc 11016 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm
rtc 13640 0

 However, xcdroast quits with :

 I have never heard of /dev/pg0. Do I need to pass an hdc=scsi or hdc=ide-cd
option to kernel ?

 Relevant portions of dmesg :
Probing IDE interface ide1...
hdc: QSI CD-RW/DVD-ROM SBW242U, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15

ide3: Wait for ready failed before probe !

(I modprobe'd ide-cd here :)

Thanks.
