I had this recently and Anne helped me out. Here is what you need.
You need to change your /etc/lilo.conf. Where you have append in your
main image
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=linux
root=/dev/hda1
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append="quiet devfs=mount hdc=ide-scsi"
include the hdc=ide-scsi as in mine. Next it is your fstab.
Change you /dev/hdc to /dev/scd0 and then reboot.
This is what I did and it did eventually work. There may be an easier or
better way, but this worked for me.
Tony.

Subject: [newbie] adding Creative cd-writer
Hi Listers !
I have added a cd-writer to my computer, which is running ML9.
The problem is that I can't get cdrecord to see my cd-writer.Here's my
last
attempt:
[root@localhost root]# cdrecord -scanbus
Cdrecord 1.11a32 (i586-mandrake-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2002 J�rg
Schilling
cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open '/dev/pg*'. Cannot open
SCSI
driver.
cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you
are
root.
I can see it labelled 'cd-burner' in the Mandrake Control Center-> Mount
points.
Here's what cat/etc/fstab shows:
[root@localhost root]# cat /etc/fstab
/dev/hda6 / ext3 defaults 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
none /mnt/cdrom supermount
dev=/dev/hdd,fs=auto,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0
none /mnt/cdrw supermount dev=/dev/hdc,fs=auto,ro,--,umask=0 0 0
none /mnt/floppy supermount
dev=/dev/fd0,fs=auto,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,sync,codepage=850,umask=0 0
0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0
The Creative CD-Writer is as Master and the CD-Rom as slave.
Kscd is not playing cd's anymore. I don't know how to change to symbolic
link
so that it can play music cd's.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
