Debian /etc/modules.conf start with: ### This file is automatically generated by update-modules So follow debian way if you want debian to function properly. Many HOWTOs assume Redhad these days.

I was not explicit but "sr" is not needed by default kernel since it is compiled-in. scsi cd-rom driver = sr module/driver See /boot/config-2.2.yourkernelversion for option used for compile. > > > http://qref.sourceforge.net/quick/ch-tune.html#s-cdrw This is quick reference for people who read real document once and wanted to check what to do for Debian.
