Hi, [EMAIL PROTECTED] typed: > I had gone through all the documents but the problem i am facing is that > cdrecord -scanbus > is not giving any output as my cdwriter is a on IDE bus > and at a boot time it recognises the cdwriter as device hdd. The ide driver should not capture the device at boot time - then you will not be able to use it as a SCSI-emulated drive. Compile the kernel with all the cdrom stuff as modules (ide-cd, ide-scsi), and then add the following to /etc/conf.modules : options ide-cd ignore=hdd This makes the ide-cd driver ignore the presence of your CD writer, making it available for ide-scsi. All this is present in /usr/doc/HOWTO/CD-Writing-HOWTO, refer that for more details. -- Mrinal Kalakrishnan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (PGP:B1E86F5B) http://listen.to/mrinal - - - - = ( Redhat Linux 6.1 ) = - - - - = ( Kernel 2.2.12-20 ) = - - - - Retailers move their merchandise. -------------------------------------------------------------------- The Linux India Mailing List Archives are now available.
