Well thankfully we both have working cdwriters , I too have everything compiled into the kernel... I also use the append line as so: kernel = /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20 noapic nosmp root=/dev/hda12 hdc=ide-scsi pci=biosirq vga=normal but I have heard that people had problems with scsi grabbing normal (cd?) drives and having to add :ide-cd ignore=hdx presumably b/c the ide-cd will grab before the scsi - which is actually the opposite of what Mr. Weir said. I don't really know which is true. I got so tired of configuring modules that I gave up and just put all in the kernel - even though I think I could get more "control" of things with modules (ie. my soundblaster live! 5.1)...
