For kernel 2.6.2 the cd drive worked fine with ide/atapi cdrom support and that was all i had to do. in older kernels you have to enable scsi emulation to get the cd burner working. to do this add this to /etc/lilo.conf file:

append= "hdc=ide-scsi." now open the terminal and make a symbolic link to the drive:

#ln -sf /dev/scd0 /dev/cdromif there are problems, compile older kernels with IEEE1394, OHCI1394, SBP2 and SCSI CD-ROM support.
