Hi everyone.

After adding the append=ide-scsi line in LILO and loading the ide-scsi module in
boot.local I can no longer access my CD-RW as /dev/cdrom nor as /dev/scdx where
I have tried all reasonable values of x. I get ' ... not recognised as block
device'. The HOWTO has a script which tells me that I am missing the module
sr_mod. I have SuSE 7.0 on a new machine and they tell me that with the pentium
optimised kernel that this is all I need. What is this sr_mod stuff?

BTW, my DVD drive still works fine on hdd. The CDRW is hdc.

Any ideas anyone?
