 Hello Michael
		The "ide-cd" looks OK, it's used for IDE CD drives of course. I havn't got 
it on my system in "/etc/modules" but it appears  when I do a "lsmod".

   I think this is because I'm running a 2.6 kernel which is compiled to load 
modules ending in "*.ko" . If I look in 

"/lib/modules/2.6.7/kernel/drivers/ide" 

 the module "ide-cd.ko" is there and so it's not required in the /etc/modules 
stuff. Modules using "*.o" as a suffix need to be put into /etc/modules etc 
(I think).

I don't know about the "ide-detect" entry though.
