I presume you are putting the "hdc=ide-scsi" as a kernel param. I do similarly, EXCEPT the CDwriter is on its own IDE bus. I suspect that the hdc=ide-scsi thing will apply to both master and slave on an IDE channel - whether that is intended/mandated I can't say. If you move the zip to hdb all should be well, or buy an IDE PiC and get more channels if you have run out. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
