[ale] cdr problems

[Christopher Fowler]

I turn more CDs into coasters by using cdrecord than I do by using Adaptec
in Windows.  I starting to believe it is a xcombination of my 3 year old
HP7200i and ide-scsi.

AARRGGHH! Modules and IDE CD burners!

I am running the devfs stuff so my setup is a bit different.
I also gave up and compiled in my generic scsi driver. So now I have a
device: /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/generic that has a symlink
/dev/sg0 pointing to it. Miracles happen and cdrecord works!

Try scrapping the pre-install lines and just run a modprobe sg. That
should install the sg driver and everything it depends on in the proper
order.

If only scsi were as affordable as IDE...
