Yes, I'm using ide-scsi for my CDRW drive. The necessary code is compiled into the kernel and I have the right boot parameter. And the drive shows up under /dev/scsi/... and not under /dev/discs/...
And to cite the cdrecord output again: scsidev: '/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd:@' devname: '/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd' scsibus: -2 target: -2 lun: -2 cdrecord: Read-only file system. Cannot open '/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd' Cannot open SCSI driver. cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. what file system it refering to? The devfs? Martin Am Dienstag, 20.
