Sorry about the delay, I'm a cable modem victim ;)

/etc/modules:
scsi_hostadapter

/etc/modules.conf
pre-install pcmcia_core CARDMGR_OPTS=-f /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start
alias usb-interface usb-uhci
# probeall scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi
# From the old system
alias sound msnd_pinnacle
post-install msnd_pinnacle /etc/sound/pinnaclecfg 0x270 reset;
/etc/sound/pinnaclecfg 0x270 dsp 0x290 5 0xd0000
alias midi mpu401
options mpu401 io=0x330 irq=5
options msnd_pinnacle io=0x290 irq=5 cfg=0x270 mem=0xd0000
alias eth0 natsemi

The initial boot was with a (brand new) TDK TDRW241040 burner as the
only cdrom.  The lilo.conf file had 'hdc=scsi-ide' set for all entries
(I removed it as soon as I realized that the cdrom was being forced into
the scsi-ide driver and for some obscure reason not working); the
'probeall scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi' was present in /etc/modules.conf (I
commented it out); and I have (so far) ignored the 'scsi_hostadapter' line in
/etc/modules (the scsi_mod and sr_mod modules show up in lsmod).

Hope that's useful...
