I have a problem with gnome toaster. I can't him to recognize anything except a stupid scsi drive I don't have. When I try to add a Cd/Drive in preference menu, gtoaster give me an aoption screen about a scsi drive (asking me scsi ID, scsi path etc...).

Why can't I add any ide drive? Scsi cd-writer are really nice but a little too expensive for me. Did I forgot something in the install or GToaster do not support anything but scsi?

CD burning in linux requires scsi interface burner, you can easily fool the system to treat your IDE burner as scsi device by using ide-scsi emmulation, just append the following line to your lilo.conf (if you use lilo as your boot loader)
append="hdx=ide-scsi"
right after the root=.... entry
To use it without restart as root
modprobe ide-scsi
x is for latter for your IDE burner( a-primary master, b-primary slave, c-secondary master, d-secondary slave). It is also recommended to make scsi emmulation for your regular cd-rom if it co-exists with burner on the system.
Don't forget to rerun lilo, issue as root
lilo

Ok, I will try but...
is there are any other ways? Like another burner progs that can see my ide drive.

Why Linux can't recognize any ide burner?

The only software that handles cd burning in linux is cdrecord, and it was designed to handle only scsi devices, but the scsi emmulation is a very simple process that's why nobody even cared to create a burning software to handle ide. So as said any GUI tools are only front-ends to cdrecord.

Ok...
But can you tell me what I'm REALLY suppose to write in my lilo.conf to enable scsi emulation?
Append = /dev/hdc=ide-scsi
or just append = hdc=ide-scsi?
or just the path of the super block?

I don't want to search in the how to

Excerpt from my lilo.conf

(the mem=nopentium section is a work around to a memory addressing problem with Athlon CPUs)

append="hdc=ide-scsi"
this's legal as long as hdc is your burner

It's me again!!! (this tread will never end

Well look like I'm missing something in my kernel ("can't locate module ide-scsi") but I can't find what eaxctly, my scsi support seems to be ok. Do you know what exactly wich option enable this modules?

x x ATA/IDE/MFM/RLL support ---> x x
x x IDE, ATA and ATAPI Block devices ---> x x
x x<*> SCSI emulation support x x
