I thought I'd have another go at possibly getting an answer to this
question.  I'm currently running Redhat 7.3, with the stock redhat
2.4.20-18 kernel (installed via RPM).  I have a Lacie External CD-R
enclosure that I'm connecting to my USB port.  When I power on the
drive, the USB portion springs into action, identifying it and adding an
entry to /proc/scsi/usb-storage-0:
  Host scsi1: usb-storage
       Vendor: LaCie
      Product: USB Mass STORAGE
Serial Number: None
     Protocol: 8020i
    Transport: Control/Bulk
         GUID: 059fa6020000000000000000
     Attached: Yes

        However, that's it.  /proc/scsi/scsi does not contain an entry for this
drive (it only contains an entry for my tape drive which is an atapi
tape drive added to the scsi system via ide-scsi and the hdd=scsi kernel
parameter)

        Note that usb-storage was started automatically, but sr_mod was added
by hand (via modprobe) in an effort to make it "see" the CD-R.  Is there
some step I'm missing? Some module that needs to be loaded? Any help
would be appreciated.....
