No problem. I am not sure what to add to the kernel line at different
times. Sometimes ide-cd is needed. Other times nothing is needed
additionally for CDROMS to work. Adding ide-scsi for the 2.6 kernel to
work doesn't work for me right now. I guess it works for others.
I'm glad that it works with that added to the kernel for you. (RHL 8 and
CDROM burners was real trouble for me and burning CDROMs. It dodn't work
very well for me.)
