You're absolutely correct. It's a real SCSI device, in a SCSI only
system (no IDE on the mobo at all!).
So, I do not need the ide-scsi module.

However, that not withstanding, the thing still don't woik as a CD
Writer. It DOES however work as a CDrom. I can put regular CDs in it,
mount them up, and they work just great.
Also, the sytems harddrives are on the same scsi controller, so I know
the controller is working, or the thing wouldn't be running. So
something very strange is happening/not happening.

To reitterate:

#> lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
<extraneous modules removed from list>
sr_mod                 14912   1  (autoclean)
aic7xxx               113324   5
sd_mod                 11572   5
scsi_mod               94684   3  [st aic7xxx sd_mod]

#> cat /proc/scsi/scsi

So it looks like Channel 0, id 5, lun 0
Thus, I "should" be able to verify the drive with checkdrive:

[root@ibu root]# cdrecord -v dev=5,0 -checkdrive
Cdrecord 1.10 (i586-mandrake-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2001 J�rg
Schilling
TOC Type: 1 = CD-ROM
scsidev: '5,0'
scsibus: 0 target: 5 lun: 0
cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open '/dev/pg5'. Cannot open
SCSI driver.
cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you
are root.

(I have no idea what /dev/pg5 is supposed to be. It's a new error
message, wasn't there yesterday).
but, still, it's not recognising the drive.

If I insert a prewritten CD, I can mount it. mount /mnt/cdrom executes
without error. And a "df" reports it correctly:
[root@ibu root]# df /mnt/cdrom
Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/scd0               664224    664224         0 100% /mnt/cdrom

So... back to cdrecord:

#> cdrecord -scanbus
Cdrecord 1.10 (i586-mandrake-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2001 J�rg
Schilling
TOC Type: 1 = CD-ROM
cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open SCSI driver.
cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you
are root.

nada.
It's interesting that "cdrecord -scanbus" tells you to run "cdrecord
-scanbus"... kinda circular isn't it?

Any more guesses? I'm stumped!
