Ralph you did not address my main point, that is its not being seen on boot as a scsi device. The cdrecordrer is as I pointed out in the first mesage, whilst the dvd is not assigned a scsi device, even though in lilo iI have called hdb=ide-scsi. Therefore no device driver is assigned and I get a sdc1 or sr1 "no such device". -- Keith Antoine aka 'skippy' 18 Arkana St, The Gap, Queensland 4061 Australia PH:61733002161 Retired Geriatric, Sometime Electronics Engineer, Knowall, Brain in storage _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
