Hi

I just acquired an old Samsung SW-??? cd-rw drive, and in order to test
it, I found out, that I needed the mmc_cdr module. Unfortunately I don't
have it, so my question is: where may I find it ? I have of course been
through google, but without luck. I only found a guide saying that I
could just copy the module into the other modules, and run a small
script/program. So does anyone have it ? Or am I required to compile a
new kernel ? I'm currently using 2.4.20 in Slackware 9. I've never tried
compiling a kernel before, but found a quick howto. Only question: how
likely is it to damage the system compiling a new kernel ? From what I
can see everything happens through a menu.

Thank you,
Mads

Thats not a module, mmc_cdr is the default driver used by cdrecord. From
the output of my cdrecord..:
Device seems to be: Generic mmc CD-RW.
Using generic SCSI-3/mmc CD-R driver (mmc_cdr).

So mmc_cdr is there and you don't have to do anything but burn a CD and
it will show up.

This was possibly to get, when I added the following line to lilo.conf
and run lilo -v:

append="hdd=ide-scsi"

Thanks for the help.
