If it's compiled in, there's no way to get your CD drive back without a reboot. > Another question: I have everything compiled into the kernel instead of > as modules.

AIUI, if you have ide-cd and ide-scsi (and sr_mod) compiled into the kernel, ide-scsi will win and take everything. I compile all the ide-scsi (and scsi) stuff as modules, because it's possible to play with them without a reboot. -rob
