Hello, make sure the modules for ide-scsi emulation are loaded before mounting the cd. One way to load the modules is manually by using the command modprobe ide-scsi To automate the loading of the modules put the following lines in a file, e.g. idescsi.mod, in the directory /etc/modutils/ : # from the CD-Writing-HOWTO alias scd0 sr_mod # load sr_mod upon access of scd0 pre-install sg modprobe ide-scsi # before sg, load ide-scsi pre-install sr_mod modprobe ide-scsi # before sr_mod, load ide-scsi and run update-modules. This will put these lines in the config file /etc/modules.conf for the kernel module loader. Sadly there is one point I don't know: how to tell kmod to use the new configuration file. Of course a reboot will do the job (but that's like working with a crappy Windows machine :-( - I'm sure there is a better way to do this under Linux - because everything works better with Linux :-) Bye Andreas
