What exactly did you put in lilo? 'append = " hdd=ide-scsi"' has always worked for me with no need to do anything else (albeit for CDR rather than DVD, natch). Perhaps you need to play with hdparm a bit? I *think* the exact command you might want is hdparm /dev/hdc dma=1. But that is dredged from the depths of my memory as I haven't used it in ages and haven't got it installed on my current box.
append = "hdc=ide-scsi enableapic vga=0x0317 splash=silent desktop"
hdc is my A-04 so I assume that's right.
It does do something as without it DMA mode works fine, with it the kernel reports no device found when setting DMA for hdc
Does it matter that I have a real SCSI adapter installed on this machine too, how for example does ide-scsi check that it's not interfering with my existing SCSI devices ? What controls the virtual scsi id of each device you emulate with ide-scsi or do they just appear starting at 1 in the order they are expressed.
Maybe the cd recording how-to will help (from tldp.org obviously <G>)
Yes I should have read that first, but I figured this is something everybody except me has had to deal with, good point though, going to read it now.
