Debian /etc/modules.conf start with:
### This file is automatically generated by update-modules
So follow debian way if you want debian to function properly. Many
HOWTOs assume Redhad these days. Old ones assume Slackware.

Did you directly edit /etc/modules.conf? It works but not right approach.
Read "man update-modules" and "man modules"

I was not explicit but "sr" is not needed by default kernel since it is
compiled-in.
scsi cd-rom driver = sr module/driver
See /boot/config-2.2.yourkernelversion for option used for compile.

Basically my installation memo on a free server.
