Gentlemen:
I've just added an ATAPI cdrw drive to my system, and it seems to work
fine. It is at /dev/hdc, and an ATAPI CD reader is at /dev/hdd. I've
disabled IDE grabbing of hdc by adding
append="hdc=ide-scsi"
to /etc/lilo.conf, have added
insmod ide-scsi sg
to /etc/rc.d/rc.local and now everything seems to work fine: I can write
data or music CDs on it, I can copy from the CDROM to the CDRW, etc.,
using cdrecord.
What I cannot do is use either of the CD player apps that come on RH 6.2
(at least the two loaded on my gnome desktop, either xplaycd, or the
no-name one. No matter how I configure them for whatever device, they
refuse to admit to seeing a drive or a disk in the drive for the CDRW.
Is there a problem using a media player with an ide-scsi emulated drive,
or is there something obvious I'm overlooking?
Thanks!
