The problem is exactly the same if you also have an SCSI.
Most, if not all, cd writing software assume an scsi device. The solution
is to use scsi emulation on the top of ide in order to present an scsi device
to the software.
So yes : you need to recompile your kernel to support scsi emulation
Along these lines... What if you have a SCSI system with a cdrom already
in place, but have an unused IDE CD-RW (Well, not strictly unused as it is
installed in a Win98 box collecting dust).
I'm running the stock RH6.0 kernel. Is it simply a matter of plugging
in the CD-RW and recompiling the
I think it would be useful for more than one of us if you post in this list.

I looked at the CD-Writing-HOWTO from the RH 6.1 distribution, followed it
and my CDRW works just fine. Give it a try it may just work for you too.

Well slap me silly, I did'nt know the mount scd0 :) It does work.
Yip I forgot to mention the modprobe stuff, i have both in rc.local (sg and
ide-scsi).

A couple of steps have been forgotten in other posts (I've forgotten
them myself before), but the following should get you all the way there:
1) Add the line:
append="hdX=ide-scsi"
to /etc/lilo.conf
2) Run /sbin/lilo
3) Reboot (yes, you have to reboot) :o
4) Run "modprobe ide-scsi
cdrom.
(somebody correct me on this ??)

Be sure to place your cdcrom on an ide cable seprate from your hard
drive. Compile in scsi emulation and cdrom support. Don't probe LUNS or
compile in ide-cdrom support. I can't remember the exact kernel options,
but I did this today at work. If you want the exact kernel options, mail
me tommorrow
Could you let me know when you find something? Thanks.

I doon't know about the RW but for CDR you have xcdroast (there are rpms
you can find around) which does a wonderful job.
Since it is an IDE (as opposed to SCSI) , be sure to read what they say about
your kernel config (don't remenber really what needs to be done). I guess that if you
