I have just installed a CD-Writer on my box. It is an HP 9100, IDE. To make it work I had to remove the ide-cd module, so I can not mount the other CD-Unit I have. Any idea about how can I solve this? (may be configuring my another CD-Unit as SCSI also? How?) -- #

Not so much solved as the problem mysteriously went away. I really hate when that happens, but all i did was purge gdm, reinstall it (and apt did not download a new version, so it's not that the problem was fixed in a new version) and it works!
