I've been trying to get my new cd-rw running. After reading file:/usr/share/doc/HOWTO/HTML/en/CD-Writing-HOWTO-2.html I ran this command:Gutten Tag, Russell,
cd /dev && rm cdrom && ln -s scd0 cdrom
And then I checked the devices like this:
# ls -l cdrom
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 4 Nov 10 18:21 cdrom -> scd0
# ls -l scd0
ls: scd0: No such file or directory
Now /dev/cdrom shows as a broken link to a nonextant /dev/scd0! I didn't see anything on how to create this particular device. What should I do next?
Mit freundlichen Gr��en,
Russ.
All linux writer programmes require scsi-emulation.
To achieve this first add to /etc/lilo.conf in the append line, something
like hdc=ide-scsi, save and exit.
eg here is mine,
append="devfs=mount hdd=ide-scsi hdc=ide-scsi "
note, this is for both my dvdrom and cdwriter which I have master and slave
on ide2 line
yours is different so alter accordingly.
then run /sbin/lilo
which will confim it likes your changes
logout and login
then in a terminal type ,
cdrecord -scanbus,
this is mine.

which confirms you now have scsi-emulation for your writer and in my case the dvdrom
as well.
If you want an icon on desktop, rightmouse click down to create new cdrom device
and in the properties of that icon point the device to the /dev/scd0 (1) ?
I hope this clarifies things a bit,
John
