I remember having lots of trouble getting cdrecord set up correctly last
year, at that time some of the problems were probably due to moving to a
2.4 kernel. I'm including the following from my modules.conf in the hope
that it might be useful to somebody. I've got a CD-R on what used to be
/dev/hdb, and a CDROM on what was /dev/hdc, both accessed as if scsi, but
a zip drive on /dev/hdd accessed as an ide device.
# cd record, and try to use ide-scsi for /cd but not /zip
pre-install ide-scsi modprobe -k ide-floppy
alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi
alias scd0 sr_mod # load sr_mod upon access of scd0
alias scd1 sr_mod # load sr_mod upon access of scd1
pre-install sg modprobe ide-scsi # load ide-scsi before sg
pre-install sr_mod modprobe ide-scsi
# load scsi_mod before ide-scsi, sr_mod
pre-install ide-scsi modprobe scsi_mod

Actually, you don't need to do this append any more, at least if
modules.conf is correct!
