<pre wrap="">Did you try to emulate a ide-scsi ?
I just resolve this problem with it by pointing /dev/scd0 to
/dev/scsi/whatever_target_lunetc....
First modify /etc/lilo.conf (MDK, maybe different for Debian ?)
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=linux
root=/dev/hda5
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append="quiet devfs=mount hdb=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi"
vga=788
read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=linux-nonfb
root=/dev/hda5
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append="devfs=mount hdb=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi"
read-only
Now in /etc/modules.conf add the 2 follwoing lines :
options ide-cd
pre-install sg modprobe ide-scsi
reboot or reload your modules
and try :
cdrecord -scanbus
You'll get the SCSI numbers to link with /dev/scd0
Make sure that /etc/fstab is conform to this new config
/mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount \
dev=/dev/scd0,fs=iso9660,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-15 0 0
Not being a guru, it may not work but I did install few of them like this and
never failed.
However trying to read a DVD with mplayer or xine is still a pain !

<pre wrap="">Thanks Harry,
I have no 'dvd' entry in /dev so I used 'mkdir dvd' but keep getting the
message that
'mount point /dev/dvd does not exist'. Previously (following someone
from deb-user) I did
rm -rf /dev/dvd
ln -s /dev/hdc /mnt/dvd
with no luck.
Similarly, I get

Is there an automounting option for DVD's in gnome ?

<pre wrap="">Hi,
What I would try to do is, check if there is anything in /dev/dvd
directory, and if not delete it. Then create a symlink to /dev/hdc.
This should fix the DVD side of it. Also, DVD movies don't need to be
mounted to played, like Audio CDs.
If the CD-RW is in your fstab (like it is), mount using "mount /cdrw".
I don't know why you can't mount both at the same time, but as I
mentioned above, you don't need to.
Cheers,
Harry.
