Thanks a lot for your message and for the others as well. Your advice is quite the same as which was pointed by others to be found on 'cd-writing-HOWTO', but there wasn't all this info. ____

Do you mean here: ________ # Aliases to tell insmod/modprobe which modules to use # lisäsin allaolevat options ide-cd ignore=hdc # tell the ide-cd module to ignore hdc alias scd0 sr_mod # load sr_mod upon access of scd0 pre-install sg modprobe ide-scsi # load ide-scsi before sg pre-install sr_mod modprobe ide-scsi # load ide-scsi before sr_mod pre-install ide-scsi modprobe ide-cd # load ide-cd before ide-scsi # tähän asti __________ To change into: _________ # Aliases to tell insmod/modprobe which modules to use # lisäsin allaolevat # options ide-cd ignore=hdc # tell the ide-cd module to ignore hdc alias scd0 sr_mod # load sr_mod upon access of scd0 pre-install sg modprobe ide-scsi # load ide-scsi before sg pre-install sr_mod modprobe ide-scsi # load ide-scsi before sr_mod # pre-install ide-scsi modprobe ide-cd # load ide-cd before ide-scsi # tähän asti ______________ Or which are the 'two lines'? > But now you must tell the kernel to use scsi before ide by > adding a line to /etc/lilo.conf : append="hdc=ide-scsi" and run lilo. Now it looks like this. Is the line 'append="hdc=ide-scsi"' at the right place? ___________ boot = /dev/hda delay = 20 timeout = 500 prompt default = Linux vga = normal root = /dev/hda3 read-only lba32 install=/boot/boot.b map=/boot/map image = /vmlinuz label = Linux append="hdc=ide-scsi" image = /vmlinuz.old label = LinuxOLD optional other = /dev/hda1 label = win98 ___________ After changing 'aliases' and changing lilo and running 'update-modules' and running 'lilo'... It still doesn't work. When trying to install xcdroast it still complaining: 'no generic scsi support'... _________ Could I just change in the /boot/config-2.2.17 the line: ________ CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD=y into CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD=m ________ and remove that 'append line in lilo'?
