[mythtv-users] Converting Fedora Core dvd to ide-scsi emulation?

[Scott Nicholson]

In general (AFAIK -- I'm not too far from newbie myself) hard drives are
labeled as follows:

Primary IDE interface master: hda
Primary IDE interface slave: hdb
Secondary IDE interface master: hdc
Secondary IDE interface slave: hdd

... And so on for any additional IDE interfaces you have in the machine.

If, for example, your DVD burner is the master on the secondary IDE
interface, you would add "hdc=ide-scsi" as a kernel parameter.

Subject: [mythtv-users] Converting Fedora Core dvd to ide-scsi emulation?

I recently installed a dvd burner in my myth box after growing tired of
waiting for 6-8 hours for my windows box to re-encode every movie and I have
a question on configuring the box for using the ide-scsi emulation layer.
The dvd drive does work however it only writes at ~1x. (drive is a 4x) I
assume this is because my fstab has the burner as /dev/cdrom and is using
ide directly to access the drive.

I configured the box using Jarod's excellent howto and I am still somewhat
of a newbie so I am at somewhat of a loss as to the proper way to convert it
to using the ide-scsi layer.

The instructions call for either passing a hdX=ide-scsi argument to the
kernel or to make several changes to my modules.conf file. Since nothing in
my setup refers to the drive as a hd(anything) what should I change? What is
the best way to do this? Is there a good howto hiding out there somewhere?

TIA,

Bill
