How do I enable it? Where is it in menuconfig? I see 'SCSI Support' But I get the feeling that's not the same thing as emulation (since I tried it but I still can't burn cd's because the cdr programs 'can't scan the SCSI bus').

According to the install guide you need these:

Quote:
If you have an IDE cd burner, then you need to enable SCSI emulation in the kernel. Turn on "ATA/IDE/MFM/RLL support" ---> "IDE, ATA and ATAPI Block devices" ---> "SCSI emulation support" (I usually make it a module), then under "SCSI support" enable "SCSI support", "SCSI CD-ROM support" and "SCSI generic support" (again, I usually compile them as modules). If you also choose to use modules, then echo -e "ide-scsi\nsg\nsr_mod" >> /etc/modules.autoload to have them automatically added at boot time.


I did this, insmoded all the modules made, and used k3b and my burner works great.

Did you add hd?=ide-scsi to the kernel command line?
hd? is your cd writer.

Yeah, I think I did that a while ago when I was trying to get it to work. but hey, I burnt my first cd with xcdroast! Thanks guys
