PROBLEM:can't load module "ide-cd" automatically(2.6.0-test10)

[Lee]

1. Under kernel 2.6.0-test10, I can't load module "ide-cd" automatically.
2. Unlike under 2.4.x kernel, I must load "cdrom" and "ide-cd" module by
hand or use shell scripts to do it under 2.6.0-test10 kernel, although I
didn't change  .config file. If I want to mount my cdrom disk without
loading these modules, it always tells me that " mount:/dev/cdrom is not a
valid block device".
3. Keyword: module, ide-cd

Take a look at /etc/modprobe.preload

No file named /etc/modprobe.preload and no manual for this file. Sould you
please tell me where to find manual for it?
Thanks

On my Mandrake Cooker box I have it I've attached a copy which I only use to load the bttv driver. The comments should explain how to use this file.
