I added insmod ide-scsi.o to rc.local and that did load according to lsmod. The SCSI support is compiled into the kernel, apparently, since my SCSI CD-ROM works OK. For some reason, I can't get the CDRW to work and Gcombust can't find it and cdrecord -scanbus can't find it. The CDRW worked in 7.2 but I had sent the CDRW in for repair prior to installing 8.1. I suppose that the simpler solution is to do a fresh install of 8.1 with the CDRW installed this time. If that doesn't get it going then I'm going to reinstall 7.2. I might reinstall 7.2 anyway since I can't get my internet connection sharing working in 8.1 (worked great in 7.2). I'm beginning to believe that there are still some major bugs that need to be worked out of 8.1.
