Re: [SLE] Linux CD-RW Driver?

Yes it is pointing to /dev/sr0. I didn't realize there was such a thing that used SCSI controllers to talk to IDE devices.

Yes, sadly. It's a pain, but for some reason it's necessary for things like cd recorders to be treated as scsi devices. Don't know why, but windows also does it, although it's slightly more transparent there.

Regardless, it doesn't seem to play well together. Any ideas anyone? Maybe i'll just have to pull it...and hook up my external HP CD-RW to this system.

What do you get if you do, as root, "cdrecord -scanbus"? //Anders
