It will probably be remapped to a SCSI device name, such as /dev/sr0 or /dev/sr1 If some software doesn't like the SCSI emulation for the CDROM, you may tell the kernel to not do SCSI emulation on it. I run SCSI emulation as a module and load it for one device by passing an option to the kernel in my lilo configuration: append="hdd=ide-scsi" Peter
