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.

Can you boot with the standard 2-floppy BL3.40 and mount a CD-ROM drive (not a burner, just a reader, no scsi modules yet)?

If I break linux I copy it back from another computer.

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

It sounds like one or more modules are not inserting.

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

Do you get an error message when you try to insert any of these modules? If one does not insert, the ones dependent on it will not insert. scsi_mod is needed for the other scsi modules. Are you sure you have all the modules in /lib/modules/2.4.31? If you do not, it will try to use a module for a different kernel and cause problems or just not work.

Or in /2.2.16 when you use that kernel?

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