Hmmm. Then my system's broken. The other day the power went down long
enough I had to power down the system. On power-up, my ide-scsi module
did not load (not in the /etc/modules/default file, not sure why).
Anyway, I found out because I tried to run xcdroast, and it cried about
no SCSI devices. So I killed it, modprobed ide-scsi, then restarted
xcdroast and burned several CDs. They all work fine. ?????
