Hi Sindi, 

finally I succeeded to create a clean initrd.gz file and all USB
devices can be mounted with it. So I moved to the other computer 
in order to test CD burning. 

There, however, I was not even able to mount the CD for reading.
Unfortunately some changes to the file system on the hard
disk, had the effect that even in the SW 7.1 installation the 
CD-ROM mounting completely ceased to work.

Burning CDs with the new kernel does not work either. I tried to
make the file system on the RAM disk as similar as possible to the
one on the hard disk partition, and with the 2.2.16 burning still
works. So I am almost sure that the problem is in the l8 kernel.

When I try to run cdrecord with your kernel I get the messages: 

    Cannot open /dev/pg0

    Cannnot open /dev/pg*
    Cannot open SCSI driver

Here are the modules which the 2.2.16 kernel needs to burn CD: 

 insmod ide-cd 
#ignore=hdc
 insmod scsi_mod
 insmod sg
 insmod sr_mod
 insmod loop
 insmod ide-scsi

IIRC 2.2.16 is the bare kernel from Slackware 7.1. Its size is 
735763 bytes. 

Christof
