At first I thought it might be an indication of not being logged in as root, but that will give something like: Cdrecord 1.9 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2000 Jörg Schilling cdrecord: Permission denied. Cannot open '/dev/sg0'. Cannot open SCSI driver. cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are root. His sounds like it's looking for /dev/sg0 and can't find it. I'd check /etc/conf.modules (or /etc/modules.conf) to make sure there's something like: alias scsi_hostadapter0 ide-scsi alias block-major-11 ide-scsi In there, and that there is a /dev/sg0: $ ls -l /dev/sg* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Aug 21 23:26 /dev/sg0 -> sga lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Aug 21 23:26 /dev/sg1 -> sgb [...] crw------- 1 root sys 21, 0 May 5 1998 /dev/sga crw------- 1 root sys 21, 1 May 5 1998 /dev/sgb [...] Still, I'm using 1.9, so maybe he just needs to su to root first. -W- Tout choses sont dites deja, mais comme personne n'ecoute, il faut toujours recommencer. -- A.
