you need sr_mod.o there is no way around it. If you don't have sr_mod you can burn cds but not mount them. There is really no way around compiling yourself a custom kernel for slackware; it is assumed that you will build your won kernel after install with the drivers you need. You do not pass parameters with modprobe. You edit /etc/modules.conf and put lines in like options ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi or you can insmod ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi The difference with insmod and modprobe is that modprobe will try to load the module you request and all dependant modules; whereas insmod will try to load one module. modprobe takes config information from /etc/modules.conf as does kmod the kernel thread that loads modules on demand. Reading manpages on modprobe insmod and depmod might help you here. Regards, Kerry.
