Description of problem:
Until the ide drivers allow me to succesfully check a burned image (dd
|md5sum) I have to use ide-scsi.

cdrecord -scanbus is broken with ide-scsi module
I've tried with two kernels.

grub boot info:

title Fedora Core SCSI (2.6.9-1.681_FC3)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.681_FC3 ro root=LABEL=/1 hdc=ide-scsi
        initrd /initrd-2.6.9-1.681_FC3.img

title Fedora Core SCSI (2.6.9-1.678_FC3)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.678_FC3 ro root=LABEL=/1 hdc=ide-scsi
        initrd /initrd-2.6.9-1.678_FC3.img


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. cdrecord -scanbus
2.
3.
    

Actual Results:  Depends upon the moon phase what it actually produces.

Expected Results:  some consistant output would be nice for starters ...

Additional info:

only relevent info from dmesg that I could see

it was nvidias fault, not running it anymore)
