as root, try chmod a-rwx /etc/modules.conf, and then chmod +rw /etc/modules.conf
That should allow you to modify it as root.
I typed- chmod a-rwx /etc/modules.conf and hit enter. That returned me to my root login. Then I typed- chmod +rw /etc/modules.conf and hit enter. once again it simply took me back to where I started, back to my root login.
And to get scsi emulation,
find which cd you want to be emulated (ie hdb or hdc), then edit
lilo.conf to say something like this: ...
I'm using grub not lilo.
Then, edit /etc/fstab and make it look like this (only the cdrom
lines, there are many more lines):
I find no lines identified as cdrom lines. The device I'm trying to set up is currently listed as hdb. would that be the line/s. Or will that change if I once get my boot loader setup?

Two things,
add to the append line in/etc/lilo.conf like this append=" hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi "
then run in terminal. /sbin/lilo to check new lilo script is OK
this will scsi-em's both dvd and writer.
As I mentioned above I'm using grub not lilo. Can I accomplish a similar result using grub?
If I were you I'd go to MCC and alter grub to lilo graphical and do as listed here(as root)
I wouldn't of though either of the drives would matter much.
change in /etc/fstab like this
/dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom auto user,iocharset=iso8859-15,umask=0,exec,codepage=850,ro,noauto 0 0
/dev/scd1 /mnt/cdrom2 auto user,iocharset=iso8859-15,umask=0,exec,codepage=850,ro,noauto 0 0
this enables the new scsi-em'd devices to be mounted.
I have a stone-age SCSI 1X CD ROM drive in my system now. Would this affect the ID as (scd0) The device I'm currently trying to get to work under the emulation is a Samsung 48X CDRW-DVD ROM drive currently identified as hdb, and mounted as CDRW.
Thanks for all the help. I'm determined to get this thing worked out.
