Hi All: I am revisiting this subject because it is the last major hardware problem I have with this install and I just have run out of knowledge and ideas as to what might be wrong and what needs to be fixed. In previous threads and messages I have seen individuals state that both idecd and idscsi could be configured into the kernel. I have both configured in. Others have stated that only one can be configured in the other needs to be a module. I have also seen messages that state the option that is passed to the kernel in grub needs to be hdc=ide-scsi, hdd=ide-scsi. I have both in my grub kernel line. Others have stated that the option should be in the form of hdc=scsi. My DVD and CD-RW work correctly from my Desktop icons, which are attached to /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 and /dev/cdroms/cdrom1. K3B sees the DVD, but refuses to see the cd-rw, even when manually pointed to. The command cdrecord -scanbus comes back with cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open '/dev/pg*'. Cannot open SCSI driver. My devfsconfig file is :
