If I'dont recompile the kernel, there'so no way to make it works(the CD-RW, I mean) I have no idea how the heck it could work without doing -anything- as others have suggested, because if I don't append="hdc=ide-scsi" in my lilo.conf then my drive just gets treated as IDE. However, you don't need to recompile the kernel for SCSI emulation; typing 'modprobe ide-scsi' will load the module for it. -Tom
