Hi, for some time I've noticed

giving the cmdline (to kernel at boot) "hdd=ide-scsi ..." I get

	ide-scsi is deprecated for cd burning! Use ide-cd and give dev=/dev/hdX as device

then changing to the suggested "hdd=ide-cd ..." I get

	ide_setup: hdc=ide-cd -- OBSOLETE OPTION, WILL BE REMOVED SOON!

Rather illogical to me :-)

I guess neither should be used, I can make my cdrom and dvd devices work 
without ok.

kernel 2.6.26

	Tom

There is a subtle difference between dev=/dev/hdX and hdd=ide-cd.

Right, neither.

	cdrecord dev=/dev/sr0 (or dev=/dev/hdc) whichever is appropriate

is all one needs. I guess you can even use /dev/sg0.
Care to send a patch?

That's not what it's suggesting (at least I don't think it is), if you 
remove the option entirely then ide-cd will bind to the device.
