right, i tried this just before your mail arrived and it didn't work. i forgot to run update-modules, and now it works perfectly! so, basically, to get an IDE CDRW to work in this way: for the kernel: compile in what makes sense (scsi options all except 'probe all LUNs'), but make ide-cd and ide-scsimodules lilo: the line: append="/dev/hdc=ide-cd /dev/hdd=ide-scsi" create file in /etc/modutils (called ide-cd or something) containing: options ide-cd ignore=/dev/hdd options ide-scsi ignore=/dev/hdc run update-modules shout `yay!' a lot and jump up and down thanks lots for your help, -- alisdair mcdiarmid [EMAIL PROTECTED] [empty black dead clean cold numb free alone afraid complete]
