fyi: I'm using 2.4.24 on debian (source from kernel.org) and my cdrw
works using hdb=scsi

Glad to hear =)

Well, if you have CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD set to `y` in kernel's .config,
you should be able to burn CDs without any need for scsi emulation. What
does `cdrecord dev=/dev/cdrom -scanbus` return?

Nvidia drivers do not have official support for 2.6.x kernels. Grab a
patch from http://www.minion.de/

Well, it's not worse though =)

You don't =)

there is the magic line in the lilo.conf. but no effect (the 2.6.1
reconizes it, the 2.4.24 don't).

And you have altered the /etc/fstab entry to reflect the change of this
device to scsi ( /dev/cdrom --> /dev/scd0 or /dev/sr0 )

I presume you mean the nvidia video driver? There is a patch for 2.6
floating around somewhere, I forget where though. Try Google.

Clearly you've missed the respective options in the kernel.

I upgraded to 2.6.0 the other day using a .config transfer from my old
kernel.

My mousewheel would not work.

The reason was that in the USB settings after the
<M> USB Human Interface Device (full HID) support
? ?[*] HID input layer support
? ?[ ] Force feedback support (EXPERIMENTAL)
? ?[ ] /dev/hiddev raw HID device support
? ? USB HID Boot Protocol drivers --->

See that final line go in there and make sure that both are unchecked.

?????????????????? USB HIDBP Mouse (simple Boot) support
? CONFIG_USB_MOUSE:

? Say Y here only if you are absolutely sure that you don't want
? to use the generic HID driver for your USB mouse and prefer
? to use the mouse in its limited Boot Protocol mode instead.

? This is almost certainly not what you want. This is mostly
? useful for embedded applications or simple mice.

? To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
? module will be called usbmouse.

? If even remotely unsure, say N.

There were other things I did but I think that was my main problem.

This is assuming that you use a USB mouse.

Got them, now I'll try...

In your XF86Config, make sure that the mouse protocol is set to "IMPS/2" (or
whatever your mouse uses) *NOT* "auto".

Auto-detection seems not to work properly under 2.6 for some reason......
