ide-scsi problem...

[Mike Sowka <msowka@xxxxxxxx>]

    I have to say... I was very excited about using XFS but for now am 
a little dissapointed. I'll start with saying that my system works 
without a glitch (and without XFS :( ) on my regular RH7.1 installation. 
This means I had ide-scsi emulation working for my IDE CDR, my sound 
card ( SoundBlaster 5.1) and TNT2 Ultra with the latest NVIDIA modules 
and GLX.
  Upon installing XFS (with the RH7.1 installer), where everything 
seemed to have gone find, funny things started to happend. I installed 
XFS file system on all three of my Linux partitions (/boot, /, and 
/home), I have two FAT32 partitions as well. Off the bat I get an error 
during startup which goes something like this:
Updating /etc/fstab cannot stat /dev/scd0 [FAILED]
Then uppon "fully" booting up it seems that I don't have eithor my my 
CDROMs, one of which is a regular cdrom on /dev/hdb and my CDR on 
/dev/hdd (by the way I did the installation with "linear" and 
"hdd=ide-scsi" flags in lilo). Upon running through the /dev/ide and 
/dev/scsi trees it seems that the /dev/ide/cd does not want to mount and 
/dev/scsi/cd does but both links under /dev/cdrom(1) are broken... :(
  Moving on... after recompiling the NVIDIA_kernel like I have done so 
so many times before and changing the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 X did not 
restart after reboot!!!!
  Sound card does not work either... :(
  Conclusion: PLEASE, PLEASE look into these as I haven't given up on 
XFS just yet and get back to me on any sort of "work-arounds"! I'm back 
to ex2 for now.. but will be waiting patiently for any fixes or 
updates... RSVP
Thanx,
Mike
