For 2.4 kernels (and lower probably) you need to add in lilo.conf:
image=/vmlinuz
append="hdd=ide-scsi"
where hdd is your cd recording device.
In 2.6 kernels this isn't necessary. At least I don't have it and I'm
happily burning a backup cd every night. The hardware layer in 2.6 is
quite differentely handled, at least for CD burning.
I have the plain vanilla Debian kernel 2.6.8 for K7 (2.6.8-2-k7) and
have ide-cd in my /etc/modules.
With lsmod I see:
# lsmod | grep ide
ide_cd 42528 0
cdrom 40284 1 ide_cd
ide_generic 1472 0
ide_disk 19264 13
ide_core 138724 4 ide_cd,ide_generic,ide_disk,via82cxxx
There are no modules with "scsi" in their name on my system.
discover is run at bootup.
HTH,
