Perhaps this is something that modprobe could do by default. Try pre-install ide-scsi modprobe -k ide-probe-mod
Thanks Herbert - that seems to have worked. I get an error early in the boot process where it reports that 'ide-scsi' is not available but when it works out later on and the CDRW is identified as a device on scsi1. Also, is there any way to get rid of these warning messages that tell me that modules.conf is newer than modules.dep?
Now all I have to do is solve the problem of the soundcard module not loading at boot despite being in /etc/modules and working just fine when insmod is run on it after I've logged in...
