Re: ide-scsi module
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
By typing `insmod ide-scsi' you added the support for your cdrom into the
kernel. However this only last until the next reboot...
I see three obvious options to solve this:
1) The easiest one: you add a line with all the modules you want to load in
/etc/modules. All the modules there are installed at boot-times.
2) If you use your cdrom often, you can hard-compile it into the kernel. This
will be slightly more efficient than the previous one.
3) Get kerneld (this is kmod in newer kernel, and works much better IMHO),
which will automatically load needed modules. But this is quite harder to
configure. This will save your memory when you do not need cdrom support.
If you are new to linux, the 1st solution is probably the best one, at least
until you recompile your kernel.
