Strange the ide-scsi module is not loaded by default, this seems to do the trick: [root@tuxbox ~]# modprobe -v ide-cd insmod /lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2869.fc6.stk16/kernel/drivers/ide/ide-cd.ko dma=1 FATAL: Error inserting ide_cd (/lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2869.fc6.stk16/kernel/drivers/ide/ide-cd.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) [root@tuxbox ~]# modprobe -v ide-scsi insmod /lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2869.fc6.stk16/kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.ko insmod /lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2869.fc6.stk16/kernel/drivers/scsi/ide-scsi.ko > > Cheers, > > Eric > -- eric.donkersloot@xxxxxxxxx
