No problem - glad to be of help Well now I have to options: first is always to put the parameters by hand when I will going to burn CDs second: I could try to flash my bios - which I haven't been trying till now because some people told me that this is a very tricky thing which could destroy my motherboard resp. the bios-chip. Well, I 'll see I've flashed my BIOS before and no harm has come of it (the board wouldn't recognise PC100 DIMMs otherwise) as well as my CD-Writer. Of course, it helps if you computer is old, like mine. There must be some sort of configuration file on the floppy disk -- have you tried mounting it? You could also try recompiling your kernel. This would allow you to place the necessary parameters in /etc/modules.conf instead of in LILO. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

I presume you're running 2.4.18-bf2.4 or some other similar pre-packaged kernel where sr_mod and scsi_mod are compiled into the kernel. Hence these modules do not need to be loaded.

So can I create it by myself or with a special command? And what should be the exact content of it to have the right order of modules? As before, since it's all built in to the kernel, you don't really need /etc/modules. In /etc/lilo.conf I think you need following in your append line: hdc=ide-scsi ide-cd ignore=hdc And then run update-lilo (as root) after.

Maybe this is the reason why it doesn't work?? The problem is that ide-cd is claiming the CD-ROM drive and CD-Writer. For example, on my machine, without the ide-cd ignore=hdc line, I get the following in dmesg: hdc: attached ide-cdrom driver. hdc: ATAPI 32X CD-ROM CD-R/RW drive, 2048kB Cache, DMA hdd: attached ide-cdrom driver. hdd: ATAPI 40X DVD-ROM drive, 256kB Cache, UDMA(33) as opposed to ide-cd: ignoring drive hdc hdd: attached ide-cdrom driver. hdd: ATAPI 40X DVD-ROM drive, 256kB Cache, UDMA(33) when I do have the ignore line. The floppy disk may be a factor. I'm not sure. I don't boot off floppy disk and I don't use LILO (switched to GRUB). Check out dmesg.
