Yep Been there got the T shirt. Its the new devfs system which auto populates the /dev folder. It requires the drivers to be aware of it, and the scsi driver used by cdrecord isn't.
All you have to do is edit /etc/lilo.conf and change the line append=" hdd=ide-scsi devfs=mount quiet" to append=" hdd=ide-scsi devfs=nomount quiet" Then re-run lilo with /sbin/lilo and reboot Then it should work (hopefully) You may then find you can no longer play audio cd's If so make a symlink ln -s /dev/cdrom /dev/hdc (Assuming your cdrom drive is on hdc) Derek On Tuesday 13 November 2001 01:48, Pascal Goguey wrote: > Hello! > > I have a problem on 2 machines.
