The "pre-install" lines in modules.conf (as described in Winfried Tr�mper's CD-Writing HOWTO) do not work properly and were the cause of the problem. I found an alternate CD-Writing Mini HOWTO at: http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue57/stoddard.html Its configuration description works. My lilo.conf looks like this: image = /boot/vmlinuz root = /dev/hda3 label = linux append = "hdc=ide-scsi" My modules.conf has these lines: alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi options ide-cd ignore=hdc alias scd0 srmod And "cdrecord -scanbus" reports: Cdrecord 1.11a05 (i686-suse-linux) Copyright (C) 1995-2001 J�rg Schilling Linux sg driver version: 3.1.20 Using libscg version 'schily-0.5' scsibus0: 0,0,0 0) 'MITSUMI ' 'CR-48XATE ' '1.0C' Removable CD-ROM 0,1,0 1) * 0,2,0 2) * 0,3,0 3) * 0,4,0 4) * 0,5,0 5) * 0,6,0 6) * 0,7,0 7) * Finally, KOnCD recognizes the Mitsumi CD Writer. /jw -- inet: john@wilkes.com | addr: 321 High School Rd.

I have a Mitsumi CR-480ATE CD-RW drive. I've followed the directions in the CD-Writing HOWTO, but it does not work.
My /etc/modules.conf file has these lines:
alias char-major-21 sg # cd writer options ide-cd ignore=hdc alias scd0 sr_mod pre-install sg modprobe ide-scsi pre-install sr_mod modprobe ide-scsi pre-install ide-scsi modprobe ide-cd
In my lilo.conf file I have this:
image = /boot/vmlinuz root = /dev/hda3 label = linux append = "hdc=ide-scsi"
I get these complaints in my logfile:

I haven't a clue what's wrong, and I'd be grateful for some suggestions.
