[paranoia] No generic SCSI device found

[Christopher Jones]

Are you trying to use SCSI emulation for an ATAPI device? 

You need ATAPI cdrom compiled as a module. If that driver takes the device
SCSI emulation can't take it back. In addition, you need to have the line

/dev/<cdrom device>=ide-scsi

in your lilo.conf, or send it as an option at the boot prompt. If you've done
all these things then I don't know. I seem to remember I had to dig past the
HOWTO to figure out about the line at the boot prompt.
