Hi,
This is a follow-up to a pretty old issue that I've come across a while ago - seems that you can't use h-e-n to connect a USB CD-ROM drive to your N900 because kernel-power lacks the necessary kernel modules for that (namely sr_mod.ko, cdrom.ko, sg.ko), so if you connect these they get identified but unusable (BTW the original USB host kernel shipped with early versions of h-e-n did include them).
Back then I couldn't get these modules included in kernel-power because no-one was taking care of the package back then (Titan has already retired) so I recompiled kernel-power 46 with the modules and sent it to whoever asked.
Fortunately now kernel-power is again being maintained, by pali. This is excellent news for everyone obviously, but I'd really like to avoid having to recompile kernel-power every time a new version shows up.
So basically, pali, this is a request for you to include the CD-ROM modules in the main power kernel tree from now.


Thanks!
NiQ

This still does not solve the problem of having to recompile for every version. Would be nice to have them in the mainline kernel-power tree.
