Aout CD-R/RW

To use CD-R/RW with IDE connection, I had to make IDE looking like SCSI.
In order to do so, I added hdc=ide-scsi parameter to Kernel.
In specific, add a line append="hdc=ide-scsi" in /etc/lilo.conf .
If the line append="apm=on" exists,
then change it to append="apm=on hdc=ide-scsi"
Then, as root, do %/sbin/lilo so that it will be active after boot.
When using it for real, ide-scsi modules must be included.
For that, do %insmod ide-scsi
If you don't want to type this command upon every boot, then add
insmod ide-scsi in /etc/rc.d/rc.local so that it it will be automatic.

Caution:
Device name will be changed since it will be recognized as SCSI instead
of IDE.
/dev/hdc -> /dev/sr0
Check the device name by dmesg command, just in case.

Example:

%dmesg
:
:
scsi0 : SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices
scsi : 1 host.

About Sound

Installing alsa driver would allow other sound then beep to work.

For kernel-2.2.18, download the followings and install them.

alsaconf-0.4.3b-0vl1.roarch.rpm
alsa-lib-0.5.10b-0vl1.i386.rpm
alsa-driver-0.5.11-0vl3.i386.rpm
alsa-utils-0.5.10-0vl2.i386.rpm
ƒCƒ“ƒXƒg[ƒ‹
%rpm -Uvh alsa*
(apt-get may be used)

For other kernel versions, download every file source (*.src.rpm) of
the above files and rebuild them.

(if the above files are in ~/rpm/SRPMS)

%cd ~/rpm
%rpm --rebuild SRPMS/alsa-driver-0.5.11-0vl3.src.rpm
%rpm -Uvh RPMS/i386/alsa-driver-0.5.11-0vl3.i386.rpm
%rpm --rebuild SRPMS/alsa-lib-0.5.10b-0vl1.src.rpm
%rpm -Uvh RPMS/i386/alsa-lib-0.5.10b-0vl1.i386.rpm
%rpm --rebuild SRPMS/alsa-utils-0.5.10-0vl2.src.rpm
%rpm -Uvh RPMS/i386/alsa-utils-0.5.10-0vl2.i386.rpm
%rpm --rebuild SRPMS/alsaconf-0.4.3b-0vl1.src.rpm
%rpm -Uvh RPMS/noarch/alsaconf-0.4.3b-0vl1.roarch.rpm

Then, do the fowlloing command
%alsaconf
