I've comiled the kernel 2.4.21|All works well but I got this problem with the CD-RW
I've enabled:
In the ATA/IDE support section, enable SCSI emulation support
In the SCSI Support section, enable SCSI Support, SCSI CD-ROM support and SCSI generic support
but the error still remain:

[root@thor:~]# cdrecord -scanbus
cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open '/dev/pg*'. Cannot open SCSI driver.
cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are root.
cdrecord: For possible transport specifiers try 'cdrecord dev=help'.

This is a part of my .config file:

#
# ATA/IDE/MFM/RLL support
#
CONFIG_IDE=y

#
# IDE, ATA and ATAPI Block devices
#
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE=y

Some1 should help please??
ThanksVeryMuch

Try 'cdrecord dev=ATAPI -scanbus'

and also 'man cdrecord'

Enjoy!

Well...with this command something seems to work:

A friend of mine says that if I enable ide support it takes the control and the scsi emulation doesn't work...
I wil try...
TnxVM

From /etc/rc.d/rc.modules:

# *** THIS IS STILL LOADED BY DEFAULT ***
# SCSI emulation support. This will provide SCSI host adapter emulation
# for IDE ATAPI devices, and will allow you to use a SCSI device driver
# instead of a native ATAPI driver. This is useful if you have an ATAPI
# device for which no native driver has been written (for example, an ATAPI
# PD-CD or CD-RW drive); you can then use this emulation together with an
# appropriate SCSI device driver. Note that this option does NOT allow you
# to attach SCSI devices to a box that doesn't have a SCSI host adapter
# installed. Also, you'll need to exclude your CD-RW from being grabbed by
# the normal ATAPI driver by passing a flag to the kernel at boot time.
# If you're using LILO, add this: append="hdc=ide-scsi"
# Replace "hdc" with the appropriate device name.
/sbin/modprobe ide-scsi

I know about this!!
But I used append="hdc=ide-scsi" since first time!!
The append options seems that doesn't exclude ATAPI driver...
I've also added into modules.conf the line
options ide-cd ignore=hdc
but remains the same...
I'll recompile the kernel excluding completly the ide cd support!!
