-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I am on SuSe 7.2 Pro and recently my CD went south So I replaced it with an Aopen (IDE) CD-RW. Now the CD-RW works fine as aCD player / reader but I cannot for the life of me get it to Write (burn) CDs. I have tried the following:- I appended the line "hdd=ide-scsi" to the hardware parameter in LILO. I changed the line in /etc/modules.conf to "aliase scsi_hostapter ide-scsi" Running "cdrecord -scanbus" I got the error "cannot open scsi driver" In desparation I added "/sbin/modprobe ide-scsi" to /etc/initd/boot.local. again running "cdrecord -scanbus" gives me the same error as before. I can't seem to get the damn thing mounted / recognized. All of the above I got from a SuSe support knowlwedgebase document "Using An ATAPI CD-R" What have I missed? Can someone point me in the right direction - I not too hot on Linux, being a recent convert from M$. Any help would be greatly appreciated. - -- Cheers, Kenny. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE7rlbQ3U0DBB0gDFARAv9JAJ9JXYY7PpUbZx4ZHjr2jV7j9ng5XwCZAWuQ asd0RLKseiDz4YyIAOCgQ/o= =G6EM -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
