Is it detected as /dev/scd0? On my system, it's /dev/sr0 Look at bootup messages (dmesg command or /var/log/messages): Detected scsi CD-ROM sr0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 4, lun 0 (scsi0:0:4:0) Synchronous at 8.0 Mbyte/sec, offset 15. Vendor: IOMEGA Model: ZIP 100 Rev: D.09 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Detected scsi CD-ROM sr1 at scsi1, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 Vendor: COMPAQ Model: PD-1 LF-1195C Rev: A110 Type: Optical Device ANSI SCSI revision: 02 > > (or at the very least, don't compile in ATAPI CDROM support at all). > > I really need ATAPI CDROM support though.
