SDB:Multiple Detection of IDE CD-Recorder

Symptom

Your IDE CD-recorder for which a SCSI emulation is running is detected 8 times and occupies /dev/scd0 to /dev/scd7. A typical symptom is the command cdrecord -scanbus displaying the same CD-recorder eight times.

Solution

Insert max_scsi_luns=1 as a kernel parameter for your boot loader configuration.

If you use LILO as your boot loader, insert this parameter in the append line of LILO's configuration file /etc/lilo.conf.

If you use GRUB as your boot loader, insert the parameter in the kernel line of GRUB's menu list /boot/grub/menu.lst.

After the changes, LILO must be restarted. For GRUB, changes apply immediately. <keyword>ide,cdrecorder,cdrw,scsi,ide-scsi,cdburner</keyword>
