this is leftover from the switch to ide cd burning drivers. the older
kernels used scsi emulation with atapi cd burners. the kernel devs
finally wrote an ide burner driver (called ide-cd) to replace the scsi
generic driver. It is unlikely that you will have any problems. note
the reference to 2.5 kernels which haven't existed in a long time.
