Cheers Mikkel,
Yes I eanbled autoloading ie kmod. Does running depmod -a sort the problem
out permanently?
etc/conf.modules looks exactly like it did before recompile.
incidentally my scsi CDRom drive jumpers are set to an id of 4 by default
does this mean that the device is sd4?
Another question I have is that of my existing ATAPI IDE drive this will now
have a SCSI id yes (sd0?)? It has to be pseudo SCSI use it in conjunction
with the burning software anyhow.
Cheers NH.
