Hi Evan, Yes you have found the right line in the grub.conf file. If you remove the "hdc=ide-scsi" you will not have the ide-scsi module loaded and the scsi emulation for your ide cdrom omitted. This module is only needed for cd writing. If it is still loaded with a common cd drive (cd reader only), you will have a scsi emulated cd reader (some /dev/sda or similar - just link it to /dev/cdrom) on your system. You can use it for cd reading successfully. You can check which /dev/sd?? is used with:
cdrecord -scanbus
and see the whole layout of the scsi drives on your system.
So this module does not do any harm in case you have a cd reader instead of cd-writer. When you decide to install the cd-writer again, you will get it functioning.
Best regards
Ray

Hey again
okay so the line in my grub conf is
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-20.8 ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi
so I can just hack off the "hdc=ide-scsi" and that should do it right? my cd-rom will still be detected, right?
