I have a project : http://linuxconsole.free.fr where I am using Linux t= o=20 boot on CD then use mutimedia apps & games. Options (ex networks, games prefs & backups) can be saved by burning ne= w=20 session on CD. My problem is : with ATAPI CD-writers, there are not other choices tha= n=20 precise where is the CD-writer at boot prompt, ie which device uses SCS= I=20 emulation (/dev/hddb, /dev/hdc or /dev/hdd). It would be better if automaticaly only the CD-Writer had ide-scsi=20 module enabled. So my question : is it a good idea to make a new option for ide module=20 that use "ide-scsi" only with CD-writers devices ? (I could write a patch) Thanks. Yann Le Doar=E9, France
