I've been using my IDE/ATAPI CDR drive under Mandrake 6 and did not have to
recompile the kernel for it.
Using 'append="hdX=ide-scsi"' in lilo and then typing 'modprobe ide-scsi' at
the command line next time you boot, as I suggested to [EMAIL PROTECTED],
should work with the generic M6 kernel with no recompiling.
