No ide-scsi, no CD-RW



I have been trying to get a cd-rw drive working under Debian (Potato
2.2r3) with no success.  I am beginning to suspect I am missing a
kernel module, but need advice in any case.

When I run xcdroast(0.96e) as root, I get to the setup window. When I check
SCSI-IDE Info, I see two SCSI devices (my scanner and a hard drive)
and two IDE devices (a hard drive and a Zip drive)  But I do not see
my HP CD-RW drive(CD-Writer Plus 9500), so of course there is no
CD-Writer device to choose.  

My lilo.conf looks like this:
	boot=/dev/hda 
	delay=50
	compact
	vga=normal

	image=/boot/vmlinuz 
	   root=/dev/sda3
	   label=Linux
	   read-only
	   append="hdc=ide-scsi"

But apparently no ide-scsi module gets loaded, since the output of
lsmod shows only this:
	Module                  Size  Used by
	ide-floppy              8532   0  (autoclean)
	sg                     11892   0 
and trying 'insmod ide-scsi' yields:
	insmod: ide-scsi: no module by that name found

I can find no module named ide-scsi.o anywhere on my system.  What am
I missing? How can I get to this CD writer?

Many thanks,
	andy
