[expert] CDwriter

[Bill Kenworthy]

I have just installed a nice new sony CRX140E cdwriter in my machine but
cannot get it to work.  Mandrake 7.2 was already installed, and the bios
finds the drive.  Details are:

HDA hard disk
HDB hard disk
HDC LS120 IDE-floppy (not set up as yet.)
HDD CDWRITER

I have used the test script from the cdwriter howto which gives:

The following is only needed for IDE/ATAPI CD-writers.

It can only seem to find the LS-120.  All the required modules load
except for ide-cd.o which seems to be compiled into the kernel (sr_mod.o
was missing so I compiled it). I suspect that the standard Mandrake
install has allocated hdd to the normal cdrom and I have to undo that so
it can be reallocated to scd0/1 (the LS120 seems to be scd0/0) - anyone
have some hints for me?
