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.
