with hdc=scsi haldeamon doesn't recognize cdwriter.
but with hdc=ide-scsi (was the original from kernel 2.4) haldaamon
reconize my cdwriter !

So this message of this subject just make me wast my time and lose my

understand the message ) 
Still don't understand if I should or not change to ide-cd on my FC3, if
not please remove the message, if yes rewrite it please .

thanks for your precious time.
