Well, I'll try to do this as easy as possible, but I'm afraid it will involve recompiling your linux kernel.

1. cd /usr/src/linux
2. make menuconfig
3. Select: ATA/IDE/MFM/RLL support --->
4. Select: IDE, ATA and ATAPI Block devices --->
5. Select: SCSI emulation support
6. Go back to the main menu
7. Select SCSI support --->
8. Select: SCSI CD-ROM support and SCSI generic support
9. Go back to main menu and select Exit (remember to save the config)
10. Execute: make dep && make clean && make bzImage && make modules && make modules_install

When the compile is done, copy the new kernel image to /boot as per installation instructions (remember to mount your boot partition first!)

I can't help you with the Soundblaster, but it sounds like you have selected the wrong card maybe in the kernel sound configuration.

Did you set the cdrom to ide-scsi in the grub configuration?

I have a SBLive and use the driver for the EMU10K1 chipset.
and it works perfectly.

Erik, I saw your not on the cdburner. I never had an ide burner so I always used cdrecord dev=0,3,0 (for my scsi target). SO for an IDE burner you go through scsi emulation and run a cdrecord -scanbus?

i'm gonna try it, thnx u dudes, now hope it works a bit.
Btw i installed the right one, just soundblaster live card, but i'm first gonna test my boxes on another pc of a friend, to check if they ain't stuck or something like that.
And to the first replier, the last thingie rule for the cd-writer with all those &, do i just have to type them as you typed them there?
Cause it looked a lill strange to me :$

(to be n00b or not to be n00b ;), that makes the difference )

Code:
make dep && make clean bzImage modules modules_install
, it should look like this. the && can be interpreted like a : if the first thing works, go to the next. additional a single & starts the command but leaves you in the console, e.g
Code:
opera &
will start opera, but the console is still avaible for you. have try - little things that make you change to linux

i guess that you also want to know whats meant by

in your /boot/grub/menu.lst there should be a line like
Code:
kernel /boot/bzImage root=/dev/hde1 hdc=ide-scsi
replace the names for root and use the device name for your burner at =ise-scsi
