cdrecord, IDE-SCSI and 2.5.39

Hello,

I have found that cdrecord 1.11a34 has stopped working on linux kernel
2.5.38+. I have a SONY CRX185E3 ATAPI burner and it works fine on 2.4.19
using "hdd=ide-scsi" kernel parameter, but with kernel 2.5.38+, cdrecord
fails when trying to access the "/dev/pg*" device files. When I run cdrecord
-scanbus, it complains with:

cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open '/dev/pg*'. Cannot open
SCSI driver.

I'm logged on as root. SCSI support is enabled as loadable modules (both the
IDE-SCSI and SCSI generic support), as well as IDE CD-ROM. The "sg.o",
"ide-scsi.o" and "scsi_mod.o" modules are loaded and I have used the
"hdd=ide-scsi" kernel parameter. Also, on /var/log/messages, an entry
reports problem locating char-major-97. I have a QDI Platinix P4 Motherboard
with Intel 845 chipset.

Is this a known issue? Also, when running 2.5.38+, why is my computer's box
IDE led activity continuously lit? On 2.4.19, it only lits when there is
disk/CD-ROM activity, but on 2.5.38+ it's kept always lit...

Sincerely,

Felipe Alfaro
