[ale] cdrw problem

[da Black Baron]

First of all- just to make things easy on yourself- remove the ide-cd
drivers from your rc.modules or your kernel (this will allow ide-scsi to
take control of it automagically, with no changes to your lilo.conf or
any of that). 

Second, put this in your rc.modules (and make sure you have built the
relevant modules):

alias scd0 sr_mod
pre-install sg modprobe ide-scsi
pre-install sr_mod modprobe ide-scsi

/sbin/modprobe ide-scsi
/sbin/modprobe scsi_mod
/sbin/modprobe sg
/sbin/modprobe sr_mod

then try cdrecord -scanbus.

You should see scd0 there now.  :-)

Hope this helps.
