Hi, I just bought a CD-R/DVD drive ( IDE ) and installed it. Suse 8.1 detected it at set it up as /dev/hdc. Now the built in software that SuSE has for CD Burning "K3B The CD Creator", detects /dev/hdc as the drive for reading ( even though I have another regular CD-Rom ) and doesn't find a device for CD Writing. So I rebuild my kernel and included support for SCSI Emulation. Now can somebody please point me to a howto to set this thing up so that the CD Burning software can actually find a device capable of writing to CD's? Thanks much, Jim

Hi Jim, If you get the latest CDRTools as .src.rpm, you can do rpm --rebuild on it, and get all the rpm's you'll need to install on your system, and these latest ones allow you to use your burner without SCSI emulation. If you don't want to try that, I think it was something like putting a line in LILO to use the emulation correctly. I think it's on the SuSE help database here http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/SUSE.81.html John - -- A butterfly is: Pretty,soft,harmless...and useless, just like M$N.

Hi Jim,
If you get the latest CDRTools as .src.rpm, you can do rpm --rebuild on i= t,=20 and get all the rpm's you'll need to install on your system, and these late= st=20 ones allow you to use your burner without SCSI emulation. If you don't want to try that, I think it was something like putting a li= ne=20 in LILO to use the emulation correctly. I think it's on the SuSE help=20 database here http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/SUSE.81.html
John Hi John, thanks for the information. The kernel option ide-scsi did the trick.
