I use the stock 2.4.18 kernel.
I created a file called /etc/modutils/cdrw and in it I have
# First, get the ide-cd drive to not latch onto /dev/hdd
options ide-cd ignore=hdd
#
#
# Set up an alias for /dev/scd0 to load sr_mod
alias scd0 sr_mod
#
#
# Now get ide-cd followed by ide-scsi loaded before the SCSI drivers
pre-install sg modprobe ide-scsi
pre-install sr_mod modprobe ide-scsi
pre-install ide-scsi modprobe ide-cd
#
and if you have not guessed it yet, /dev/hdd is my CD-RW drive. Run
update-modules to recreate the /etc/modules.conf file.
Noting in lilo or grub this way.
I tend to preload ide-cd and ide-scsi via /etc/modules because I turn
on DMA during my boot process.
BTW this is all just as the CD Writing HOWTO says to do things, but
for the Debian specific update-modules script.
Cheers!
