Subject: ide-cd or ide-scsi dmesg contradiction

Hi, for some time I've noticed

giving the cmdline (to kernel at boot) "hdd=ide-scsi ..." I get

	ide-scsi is deprecated for cd burning! Use ide-cd and give dev=/dev/hdX as device

then changing to the suggested "hdd=ide-cd ..." I get

	ide_setup: hdc=ide-cd -- OBSOLETE OPTION, WILL BE REMOVED SOON!

Rather illogical to me :-)

I guess neither should be used, I can make my cdrom and dvd devices work 
without ok.

kernel 2.6.26

	Tom
