I know that, I was just trying to eliminate all possibilities. ;) > If you use ide-scsi emulation, then you need to access the drive as a > pseudo-scsi device, probably at /dev/scd0.

Check with "ls -l /dev/scsi*" or something similar. Yes, there isn't a scsi* in /dev/ > 'unknown device' means that the device entry exists in /dev, but > it does not point to an actual, physical device on the system. Try mounting > /dev/scd0 instead.

After 'insmod ide-scsi' ide-scsi appeared in the list too. But trying 'insmod sr_mod' just gives four error messages of 'unresolved symbol unregister_cdrom_R94f2f104' and similar. X-cd-roast seems to work quite happily without it, though. Thanks for the suggestions so far. It seems I've tried all the logically obvious things. cr - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
