This last message is your problem.

The SCSI ROM driver (sr_mod) is enough to read CDs, and provides the /dev/sr0 (/dev/scd0) device. However, you also need the SCSI Generic driver (sg) to do things like CD burning and CDDA. Make sure you have the sg module loaded, and check the permissions on /dev/sg0 or /dev/sga; they're most likely root/disk 0660, which you can safely change to root/cdrom. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
