I have been having trouble getting my cdwriter to work using xcdroast. I got it to the point of writing an audio cd when all it produced was 12 tracks of noise and a new beer coaster. When looking at the ide/scsi devices recognized by xcdroast the cdwriter is shown under both scsi and ide devices and the regular cdrom is not recognized at all. I have enclosed a what I hope is a all the relevant information as to set up. Would somebody also please provide me with some sources on module set-up particularly the instructions recognized by etc/modules.conf and how to connect all those char-major-xxx with the modules, and what modules to add to etc/modules. Thanks, Bernie Cohen
