Well it didn't find /proc/ide/hdc/settings first. So I tried to modprobe
cdrom-, ide_cd-modules which also didn't help. What module make the
above mentioned file?

However I tried ongoing the echo-instruction and at some point it
worked. Now the installation runs and I hope all will be OK.

Thanks Matt
