Ok

I checked the configuration (in boot/config-2.2.17) and it seemed to be
according to the needs...

and added the lines suggested in
/etc/modutils/aliases:
_________________________

options ide-cd ignore=hdc            # tell the ide-cd module to ignore 
hdc
alias scd0 sr_mod                    # load sr_mod upon access of scd0
pre-install sg     modprobe ide-scsi # load ide-scsi before sg
pre-install sr_mod modprobe ide-scsi # load ide-scsi before sr_mod
pre-install ide-scsi modprobe ide-cd # load ide-cd   before ide-scsi
_______________

put the append line suggested in to
'lilo.conf':
______________

boot = /dev/hda
delay = 20
timeout = 500
prompt
  default = Linux
  vga = normal
  root = /dev/hda3
  read-only
lba32
install=/boot/boot.b
map=/boot/map
image = /vmlinuz
  label = Linux
append="hdc=ide-scsi"
image = /vmlinuz.old
  label = LinuxOLD
  optional
other = /dev/hda1
  label = win98

____________

And...
run 'lilo' and run 'update-modules'

And
run as root xcdroast setup

And...

it seems to be working!!!

Thanks a lot! 

It seems to be the case that there are so many things to do that you
easily
will lost the believe. 

Maybe there could be somewhat more automatic installition of xcdroast...
