I have been trying to set up the cdrecorder on my machine to do its job. I have consulted the manual as well as several documents on the web, and think that I have pretty much followed the routine : appending hdc & hdd =ide-scsi in the LILO configuration, chaning the "alias scsi_hostadapter" line in /etc/modules.conf as suggested in the manual (p. 126) and adding the line /sbin/modprobe ide-scsi to /etc/init.d/boot.local. (I didn't find this in the manual, but it does appear in several of the on-line HowTos - and in one of them is specified for 7.2)
I then fixed the links (rm /dev/cdrom ; ln -s /dev/scdo /dev/cdrom) to both cdroms (hdc is a read-only dvd, while hdd is the recorder). The result is that I am unable to access either of them (both were readable before I did all this) Does anyone have any idea what it is that I am doing wrong?
er, /dev/scdo? for a cd or dvd, you should only specify the device, not the partition, so it would be /dev/scd. Also, the device letter part will not necessarily be the same as the one for the ide interface. If these are the only scsi devices, they will be 0 (zero) and 1. Finally, are you sure it is /dev/scX? For me it is /dev/sr0 (=scsi recorder)for cdrecorder, but you may find it turns up as /dev/sdX or /dev/sgX (for scsi disk and scsi generic, respectively). Lastly there is no need to use ide-scsi for the read-only dvd. Dylan -- "Sweet moderation Heart of this nation Desert us not, we are Between the wars"
