Unless someone pops up saying "Debian kernel version xxxxxx does contain these", sounds like you'll need to compile a new kernel, with SCSI generic support, SCSI CD-ROM support and SCSI emulation enabled as modules. (Just to confuse you, SCSI emulation is listed under ATA/IDE/MFM/RLL support, rather than under SCSI support.) How to do this sort of thing, while retaining all your existing settings, has been discussed recently; search the list archives with "oldconfig" among your keywords. Mind you, I'd be rather shocked if there wasn't a Debian kernel with these modules already included. I always build my own kernels direct from kernel.org sources, so I don't know what the options are for stock Debian kernels, but doubtless someone else on the list does! > OK, it looks as if I can leave ide-scsi installed permanently. Yes. As long as you have the /dev/cdrom symlink set up correctly, nothing apart from cdrecord will know or care whether you're using ide-scsi or ide-cd. -- Pigeon Be kind to pigeons Get my GPG key here: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x21C61F7F
