All of the following confusion is why I always compile scsi-cdrom and
scsi-emulation into the kernel, not as a module. This way, the drivers probe
for the devices and there are no extra entries into any extra files save for
/etc/fstab... which gets changed to point to scd0 and scd1 (one a writer, one
a reader). For me, there has never been any reason to force parameters on any
of my kernel drivers. I disable the ide cdrom driver completely. As long as
links go from /dev/cdrom and /dev/cdrom1 to the proper sr* or scd* files
under /dev, I get no issues. (*Note: the preceding information was
distro-agnostic.. which means that it works no matter which version of
mandrake or suse you have.)
As a side note, who's got an old brown Bronco with a redhat sticker on the
back window? I was behind you in the silver Lumina on Missouri at 1:05 today
