In reading the HOWTO on CD-Writing, I noticed that even ATAPI-based writers like mine should be configured as SCSI. Is this still the case? Why?
Since they work via the SCSI driver. You need to add ide-scsi. I think the kernel parameter is ide-scsi=/dev/hdX. This loads the ide-scsi modul. After that you should be able to use your cd writer. I havn't tested that (yet) since mine is scsi. If I'am wrong someone will tell. ;-)

You can first try it out by "modprobe ide-scsi" The CD-drive should then accessible through /dev/scd0 and "cdrecord -scanbus" should show all devices in ide-scsi bus. --jq -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
