So I don't need the modules.conf file at all? In modprobe.conf they are a different. I didn't add these, they were already there. options ide-cd ignore=hdb # tell the ide-cd module to ignore hdb alias scd0 sr_mod install ide-scsi { modprobe ide-cd # load ide-cd before ide-scsi; } ; /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install ide-scsi install sg { modprobe ide-scsi # load ide-scsi before sg; } ; /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install sg install sr_mod { modprobe ide-scsi # load ide-scsi before sr_mod; } ; /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install sr_mod So, these are OK to delete or comment out? Thanks
