I am having the same problem with my burner being seen by the os... cdrecord -scanbus Cdrecord 1.8.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2000 Jörg Schilling cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open SCSI driver. and for modprobe: modprobe ide-scsi Note: /etc/conf.modules is more recent than /lib/modules/2.2.15-4mdk/modules.dep any ideas whats next? moe Jean-François_Bocquet_@Ouranos.Chaos.fr wrote:

Hi :)

I'm trying to set up a friends IDE/ATAPI Philips CD-RW 800 under SuSE 6.4 with kernel 2.2.14 and 2.2.16 and there's no way to get it going. It's connected as hdc (scd0 with SCSI emulation). We've gone over to SuSE's HW database and it is not supported, but my Ricoh CD-RW isn't supported either (at least it's not listed there) and it works perfectly :)

I've tried everything (compiling with and with out IDE CDROM support, SCSI emulation as module, SCSI emulation compiled into the kernel, append"hdc=ide-scsi", kernel 2.2.14, kernel 2.2.16, ...) but it always gets recognised as a plain CD-ROM, no CD-R and no CD-RW.

The thing is, my friend installed Mandrake 7.0 before I convinced him to move over to SuSE and Mandrake recognised it as a CD-RW without any problem during the installation process and it worked perfectly. Now that I've convinced him to move over to SuSE, there's no way to get his CD-RW to work properly :( He says that if there's no way to get it going under SuSE, he'll switch over to Mandrake again :"(

Any ideas?

Does cdrecord -scanbus shows something about the CD-RW device?

Normally a modprobe ide-scsi && modprobe sr_mod should be enough to make it recognized. In my case, I noticed that when the sg module is loaded I can't mount anything on the CD-RW device (a RICOH MP9060 for me).
