FC2T3 is still missing the ide-scsi module! And filing a bug doesn't work :-( I've had one in bugzilla since February 28, and no reaction whatsoever from the Red Hat kernel packagers...

Why not compile ide-scsi? Why inconvenience owners of tape drives that need it?
And IDE multi-changers
Put it in unsupported for all I care, but compile it, _please_.
Unfortunately Arjan and Dave are out of range of my torture kit so all I can do is bitch at them as well (and if need be release rival kernel rpms which would be a pita to have to do)
Odd. I thought we had come to a compromise on this which went along the lines of..
if device is an IDE CD drive print "use /dev/hd? directly" abort else passthrough to usual ide-scsi foo.
Arjan ?

Ide-scsi is both stable and needed.
Sigh. Willem Riede.
