Er, yes. The file /etc/modutils/ide-cd passes the parameters to the module when it is loaded.
Try the following now (per the CD-Writing-HOWTO), add the following lines to /etc/modules/actions: pre-install sg modprobe ide-scsi pre-install sr_mod modprobe ide-scsi pre-install ide-scsi modprobe ide-cd Then I suggest using modconf to unload: /kernel/drivers/ide ide-cd and then make sure the following are loaded: /kernel/drivers/scsi/ sg /kernel/drivers/scsi/ sr_mod /kernel/drivers/scsi/ ide-scsi /kernel/drivers/scsi/ scsi_mod That should (re)load the needed modules and hopefully the drive will come up as scsi emulated on /dev/scd0. Try cdrecord -scanbus again. Any other cdrom-like drives (besides hdd) will still be using the ide-cd module unless you exclude them in the options line also. > > What does cdrecord -scanbus give you? > > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ su - > Password: > jan-jr-ent:~# cdrecord -scanbus > Cdrecord 1.10 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2001 > J?rg Schilling > cdrecord: No such file or directory.
