[plug] modules

[Rob Dunne]

Thanks Anthony,
               I have tried what you suggested  -- but unfortunately 
it did not do the trick.

Is it of any importance that these are ide devices that were 
somehow set up as emulated scsi devices to make xcdroast happy?
Or is this just confusing the issue?

mount: the kernel does not recognize /dev/cdrom as a block device
       (maybe `insmod driver'?)

mount: the kernel does not recognize /dev/sr1 as a block device
       (maybe `insmod driver'?)
