Florian,

Glad to hear that you have it working. Good work!

2. Add the following to the end of /etc/modules.conf

options ide-cd ignore=hdd # tell the ide-cd module to ignore hdd
alias scd0 sr_mod # load sr_mod upon access of scd0
pre-install sg modprobe ide-scsi # load ide-scsi before sg
pre-install sr_mod modprobe ide-scsi # load ide-scsi before sr_mod
pre-install ide-scsi modprobe ide-cd # load ide-cd before ide-scsi


This didn't work for me in this way.

There are four modules to be used:
ide-cd, sg, ide-scsi, sr_mod

ide-cd and sr_mod are already compiled into the kernel (that's why I need to write append ... to my lilo.conf)

So, ide-scsi couldn't be loaded because ide-cd has to be loaded first. And ide-cd couldn't be loaded because it's compiled into the kernel.

Therefore, I am only allowed to add line pre-install sg modprobe ide-scsi # load ide-scsi before sg into modules.conf

This is not clear in the CD-Writing Howto. I will contact the author of this document in order to enter these details.


3. Add the following the following to /etc/modules

ide-scsi
sg

note: 'scsi_mod', 'ide-cd', "ide-mod" should be inserted (I think).


It turned out that that's not necessary.

Both modules are loaded dynamically when I call cdrecord. Acctually I don't know why? Any explaination?


Getting cdrecord burning cds may be another small challange you'll have to work on (especially if you are working from the command line with no frontend). It's not hard, but it *might* take a little tweaking! As long as you burner is supported by cdrecord, you should be burning cds within no time.


I used cdrecord on my SuSE system, so I have all the scripts necessary to burn data cds faster than with any GUI.

At SuSE it was just ready to use (almost), but I have learned some new things this way.

Once again, thank you for your help. Your reply was like a small HowTo and very detailed.

Florian.
