My CD-RW is a Mitsumi CR-4804TE and so far it works fine under SuSE 7.3 and 8.0, so John's problem may not be the brand of CD writer. On my machine it is /dev/sr0 after ide-scsi emulation assigned that device to what is actually /dev/hdd. The pertinent lines of my /etc/lilo.conf that (among other things) appends the ide-scsi emulation kernel parameter at boot time: image = /boot/vmlinuz label = linux root = /dev/hda2 vga = 791 initrd = /boot/initrd append = " hdd=ide-scsi" --- --- --- On Friday 24 May 2002 19:58, Patrick wrote:
John, I am sorry to alert you to the fact that Mitsumi cdrw drives don't work so well with Linux! [...]

I have a Mitsumi CR-480ATE CD-RW drive. I've followed the directions in the CD-Writing HOWTO, but it does not work.
