First, have you placed yourself as a member of the "cdwriter group"? I'm running LM 9.0 and can't get my CDR to work. This same set up works under Win98, but I need to be running Linux to do backups, etc. I have an IDE DVD-ROM and IDE CDR/W on the same IDE controller; the DVD is accessible via /mnt/cdrom, the CDR seems to be associated with /dev/scd0 (although I'm not sure how devices work with this devfs stuff). /etc/lilo.conf has append="hdc=ide-scsi devfs=mount quiet" for the default boot settings. When I run cdrecord -scanbus I get "cdrecord: Read-only file system. Cannot open '/dev/sg0'. Cannot open SCSI driver." ide-scsi, scsi_mod, sg are all loaded into the kernel. How can I tell which is the correct device, and what parameters do I use to get cdrecord to see it? Thanks, Dan
