    I've been doing all the things you say here, but I'm still having
    troubles.
    It seems like the biggest problem is that my cd-rom is PCMCIA-card.
    If I use the command cdrecorder -scanbus I can only find some other
    stuff like another harddrive and my memory stick reader.
    And checking the /var/log/boot.msg I can see that the modprobe ide-scsi
    gives an error like this:
    kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k scsi_hostadapter, errno = 2.
    So, so far what I have done is:
    on /boot/grub/menu.lst
        add hde=ide-scsi (I'm sure that my cd-rom is in hde)
    on modules.conf
        change alias scsi_hostadapter off --> alias scsi_hostadapter
    ide-scsi
    on /etc/init.d/boot.local
        add /sbin/modprobe ide-scsi

    and cdrecorder -scanbus doesn't detect the cd writer...

    Any other idea???
