Hi Eddie: Thanks for your response. Here's some info. regarding my hardware: Acer CRW1208A 12x 8x 32x (IDE) Western Digital 13.6 gig hard-drive Asus A7V motherboard Athlon 800 Mhz processor In preparation for installation of xcdroast I did the following: modified kernel and boot configuration in YaST: hdb=ide-scsi I also changed /etc/modules.conf from "alias scsi_hostadapter off" to "alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi" Any suggestions you can give are greatly appreciated. I have no idea what to do next. Thanks, Mike Wednesday 02 May 2001 03:47, Eddie Howson wrote:
Hi Mike
It might be useful if you stated what hardware you have i.e. are your drives SCSI or IDE. Your cdrom mount problem could be a link error, you may need to do something like: ln -sf /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom depending on your drives and how you have set up your system. Let's have some more info.
I tried using the directions in the same manual and I wasn't successful either. However, the directions in the manual for 7.1 were spot on (except for what I think is a minor typo).

I am using Suse 7.0 Professional. I installed xcdroast by following the directions stated in Suse's Configuration Manual, Chapter 7, Writing CD's in Linux..
Everything is very close to working-- Xcdroast recognizes my cd-rw drive and hard drive and other setup options were accepted. Here's the problem: When I choose "Copy Audio CD", xcdroast closes up and disappears from my desktop and does not commence copying data from the cd drive.
Also, every time I start up xcdroast to try again, I get a message stating, "The SCSI-Bus has changed since last "save" in the Setup-Menu. Please check if all settings are still valid! Please enter Setup....."
Lastly, I can no longer mount my cdrom drive to read cdroms. I receive the following error message when I try to mount cdrom--- "/dev/cdrom: Input/output error mount: you must specify the filesystem type.
I've gone over the directions in Chapter 7 about five times. I know I followed them precisely. It said nothing about recompiling my kernel, or anything like that. Why is this failure occurring? Thank you for your help.
