If I can't access this file as root, what must I do? 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. 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: image=/boot/vmlinuz label=linux root=/dev/hdc5 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append=quiet devfs=mount hdd=ide-scsi hdb=ide-scsi acpi=off -- add [CD ROM]=ide-scsi vga=794 read-only Then, edit /etc/fstab and make it look like this (only the cdrom lines, there are many more lines): none /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/scd0,fs=auto,ro,--,unhide,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 none /mnt/cdrom2 supermount dev=/dev/scd1,fs=auto,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 You need to change dev=/dev/[CD ROM] to dev=/dev/scd0.

You don't need add scsi emulation for the cd-rom; go to the xcdroast page and download the last rpms (alpha-13) for xcdroast and also cdrecord and so on; now xcdroast recognized also ide-atapi drives and you can use them as lector drive (to read a cd, copy on the fly..).

Re: [newbie] SCSI emulation
Probably the easiest way to do this is to run through the Mandrake installation again. Pop your CD in, reboot, and choose an upgrade install (expert mode). When it comes to selecting packages, unselect everything and continue. By the end, your CD-RW should be configured as a SCSI device.

TIA, -s SCSI Emulation is in two parts--first a message to the kernel to tell it to assume emulation is done Second is a modprobe of scsi and a link to the appropriate SCSI device The first part is simple in /etc/lilo.conf or in drakboot (Control Center Boot Config) make sure you have this in the append hdc=ide-scsi if for example it is hdc. Now in /dev you need to do the following cd /dev rm cdrom2 ln -s scd0 cdrom2 if, for example, the /etc/fstab entry uses /dev/cdrom2 for your CDRW. Finally somewhere you need a modprobe ide-scsi It can be dropped int the next to last line of /etc/rc.local (an extra one won't hurt if your system is already doing one) It is a little known fact that ordinaty plain vanilla CDROMs can also be scsi-emulated in the same manner. Our tests over the past 5 months show this works just as well as the dual structure we now support.

Putting the line where it belonged before all mention of the image to use solved that problem, and incidentally, the next web page referred to here led to a greatly simplified web page (sorry, addresses not on hand) with much clearer instructions and things now appear to be working wonderfully.
