Dear Mano or debian user:

  after I kpkg to make new kernel.deb, I got error

kernel-image-2.4.2:

need help on this

actually I use downloaded k7 kernel.deb,  in this platform , I keep can 
not access ide cdrom
but it can cdrecord.  Must I recompile kernel, would I have other way to 
let me access ide cdrom in addition to recompile kernel?
