well, ok, but I am not compiling a kernel here, I have the append line in my
lilo.conf, my emulated scsi cdrom is as scd2, and everything about burning
seems to be ok ( I don't know wether it is acting as anothe hard disk or not,
but mkisofs and cdrecord and other programs are working correctly). The
problem is, after the scsi emulation thing, USB devices (And Audio CD)
aren't working.
