How about including 'sr_mod' as a loadable module in the standard kernel?
This way, not only SCSI but also external DVD drives under a Firewire
enclosure could be used (as I'm doing right now). It's not a big deal to
download the source from kernel.org <http://kernel.org> and build a custom
kernel, but it would help if this module could part of the one already
included on the distro... Just my 0,02...
