That may be a misconfiguration of your kernel. Verify that you have compiled the ide-cd module and check the options in your modules.conf When you load ide-scsi, it handles also your normal cdr drive, a solution (provided by CD-Writing-HOWTO) is to force load ide-cd before ide-scsi, telling it to ignore some device : your cd-rw. [See: CD-Writing-HOWTO] options ide-cd ignore=hdb # tell the ide-cd module to ignore hdb alias scd0 sr_mod # load sr_mod upon access of scd0 pre-install sg modprobe ide-scsi # load ide-scsi before sg pre-install sr_mod modprobe ide-scsi # load ide-scsi before sr_mod pre-install ide-scsi modprobe ide-cd # load ide-cd before ide-scsi -- Davy Gigan System & Network Administration University Of Caen (France)
