OK, I'm the one who started the remove supermount thread (and I'm not
proud of it, but I needed to know...) so I could see if supermount was
causing my CD burning to fail. Having executed the now famous supermount
disable command, I can state that it made not one iota of difference!
My CD burner still don't burn.
I've been to the cdrecord website, followed every relevant link I could
find, read how-to's and FAQ's and the only things burning are my eyes
<g> so PLEASE, can anyone out there tell me what the following means:
[root@treble /dev]# cdrecord -scanbus
Cdrecord release 1.8a29 Copyright (C) 1995-1999 J�rg Schilling
Using libscg version 'schily-0.1'
scsibus0:

The only relevant explanation I have found is that it might be a
firmware bug (if so, how do I fix???) The LG branded CD-RW is, I
believe, a rebadged matsumi (at least, the box was a matsumi one with an
LG sticker on it!) and it is a recent model, so it should be compatible
according to all the hardware lists I've seen.
Also, thanks Alan for your word, which I shall repeat since I can't
think of any better:
Axalon....there's a significant thread here that I guess you
missed, try the archives. A group of us has been discussing
supermount problems for over a week now and you've not been
contributing at all (nor has anyone else from MandrakeSoft).
Brian is rightfully upset when you accuse him directly of not
careing to learn as should be all of us who have been involved
in this thread. You talk about disc 3 to a bunch of folks who
either downloaded an iso or bought a GPL? Probably no one here
has a powerpack that, by the way was only announced as available
on February 28th which was less than a week and a half ago.
I think you owe Brian and all the rest of us involved in the
supermount thread a big apology! We've been trying very hard,
with no help from any mandrakeSoft personel, to work out the
problems that people have been having with supermount.
Alan
Thanks to all those who did reply with help on the supermount issue.
Trevor.
