Hi
For using a CD writer the parameter "hdc=ide-scsi" has to be passed to the kernel while booting (assuming the CD writer is /dev/hdc). This works fine. But having booted without that parameter passed to kernel, how do I insert the module 'ide-scsi.o' and tell the kernel to use it for /dev/hdc without rebooting again?
Well, "insmod" inserts the module, but *how do I tell the kernel to use it for "/dev/hdc" ?*

Uh, the SCSI module sets itself up for sd*. If you desperately need to use "hdc" (you shouldn't) You can use the mknod command, which is a simple command. Take the major and minor numbers from the existing sdc device.
I just realised that you said ide-scsi. I don't know how that works. RTFM? You may not need to do anything. Or you might be able to pass "hdc=ide-scsi" on the insmod line. man insmod for that.
