issue with cutoff date for FC1!!!

[robghealey]

I would gladly upgrade to FC2, but the ide-scsi subsystem is not recognizing my ide cd-rw bruner. FC1 does perfectly with it, but FC2...no way!

I think that it is bull to stop the updating process when the next version is still broken...

Sincerely,
Rob

[imdeemvp]

are you saying there will be no more updates for FC1?

probably it is due to changes in IDE subsustem on 2.6 kernel... FC1 will be still maintainded but under Fedora Legacy...

Thats because kernel 2.6 does not use ide-scsi!!!! From the FC2 release notes:-
#

The 2.6 kernel provides a new and much-improved mechanism (known as SG_IO) for applications that must send raw commands to storage devices. This includes applications for burning CDs or for extracting data from audio CDs. SG_IO also eliminates the need for ide-scsi emulation, where boot-time parameters such as hdd=ide-scsi were required to support ATAPI CD burners.

Applications packaged as part of Fedora Core 2 have been adjusted to take advantage of SG_IO. For example, to burn a CD using cdrecord, the old-style command was similar to this:


cdrecord --dev=0,0,0 <iso-file>



With SG_IO, the command would be similar to this:


cdrecord --dev=<device> <iso-file>



Where <device> could be any valid IDE (/dev/hdc) or SCSI/USB (/dev/scd0) device file name.
