Then I tried cdrecord -scanbus [root@localhost sbin]# cdrecord -scanbus Cdrecord 1.10 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2001 Jörg Schilling cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open SCSI driver. cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are root. Then I did lsmod [root@localhost sbin]# ./lsmod Module Size Used by Not tainted apm 8748 2 ext3 60800 3 (autoclean) jbd 44004 3 (autoclean) [ext3] vfat 9724 4 (autoclean) fat 30456 0 (autoclean) [vfat] rtc 5656 0 (autoclean) Then I ran cat /proc/ide/hdd/model and got: [root@localhost hdc]# cat /proc/ide/hdd/driver ide-cdrom version 4.59 [root@localhost hdc]# cat /proc/ide/hdd/model PHILIPS CDD3610 CD-R/RW which according to the CD-writing how-to is supported. note: The Howto says to access your device from the new scd0 if it was say, hdd. During the boot process it identifies my drives as hdc and hdd, but in /etc/fstab they are like this: /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0 /dev/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1 iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0 Notice they are /dev/cdrom. do I have to change lilo to show /dev/cdrom and /cdrom1 ? And do I change "cdrom" (a DVD drive) to scd0 or keep it as before? I'm assuming changing it. I didn't quite get the part on the cdwriting howto talking about this: http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/CD-Writing-HOWTO-2.html Hope this helps, I will keep working on it, hopefully someone can shed some insights on the questions from above. Thanks so much! We are close to getting it to work! -Brandon On Sun, 2002-02-17 at 03:16, Ben Logan wrote: > I'm going to go ahead and reply or I'll forget... :) > > On Sun, Feb 17, 2002 at 02:46:57AM -0800, Brandon Dorman wrote: > > Sorry, no cheap crack deals although i do live in > > Fresno, which has more crime than LA.
