Hi, I assume that the kernel is correctly configured (see CD-writing HOWTO). you must edit /etc/conf.modules and write the right "alias" and "options" in it. Probably something like alias scd0 sr_mod # loads sr_mod starting scd0 alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi # emulates SCSI controller options ide-cd ignore=hdb # if /dev/hdb is your CD-writer If your kernel needs to be recompliled try reading kernel HOWTO and README's in /usr/src/readme I hope it helps.
