Hi again John.

I made the additional change you suggested to my lilo,conf file it now reads,
image=/boot/vmlinuz

    label=linux
    root=/dev/hda6
    initrd=/boot/initrd.img
    append="devfs=mount hdb=ide-scsi"
read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz
    label=failsafe
    root=/dev/hda6
    initrd=/boot/initrd.img
    append="failsafe devfs=nomount hdb=ide-scsi"
    read-only

But still no CDRW drive. When I rebooted just now, I got the same  "FAILED  special device /dev/scd1 does not exist" again. I checked /dev to see if there is a scd1 there and there is not. Nor is there an hdb.

I'm as certain as I can be that I have the jumpers set correctly. I did change the jumpers on the CDRW to slave when I installed it. Also I was able to access the CDRW drive and even "burn" a couple of CDs before logging off. yesterday. Now the drive doesn't appear on my hardware list.  Perhaps a separate cable is the only answer??
