Alan Cox said last week that the ide-scsi driver was
500th on his list to fix for 2.6 . To help him, if
he hasn't already fixed it, this patch includes:

   - instrument driver with 2 parameters (as examples)
       - ide-scsi.debug + ide-scsi.suppress_reset
         [kernel load time]
       - debug + suppress_reset [module load time]
       - debug + suppress_reset [sysfs: read/write
         in /sys/bus/ide/drivers/ide-scsi directory]
   - downgrade (simple) tag queuing to no tag queuing
     [set some other things to more conservative values]
   - add scsi_host::release() method
   - make provision for 16 byte SCSI commands
   - cleanup printk()s

Many people (on the linux kernel list) have reported problems
with this driver and ATAPI burners. I only have an ATAPI
reader and can't get it to fail. If someone has a repeatable
failure perhaps they could set "debug=3" and send the relevant
part of /var/log/messages to this list or me.
