Hmmm... looks like the necessary modules aren't getting loaded. I thought perhaps cdrecord would autoload them, but it doesn't look like it will. Try loading them manually, and then see what cdrecord does: # insmod loop # insmod sg # insmod sr_mod # insmod ide-scsi The HOWTO mentions several other modules, but none of them are loaded on my system. You may have to load them in a different order, but I don't think it matters. > Then I ran cat /proc/ide/hdd/model and got: > [root@localhost hdc]# cat /proc/ide/hdd/driver > ide-cdrom version 4.59 > [root@localhost hdc]# cat /proc/ide/hdd/model > PHILIPS CDD3610 CD-R/RW > > which according to the CD-writing how-to is supported. Okay, great. It's just a matter of time and patience then before it's working. :) > note: The Howto says to access your device from the new scd0 if it was > say, hdd.

Try this $ ls -l /dev/cdrom* They should be symlinks to the actual devices. That just makes it easier to switch devices--you don't have to change a bunch of device paths if you move your cdrom around. On my system it looks like lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Aug 22 07:13 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/scd0 Just make sure the symlink points to the correct device. > Hope this helps, I will keep working on it, hopefully someone can shed > some insights on the questions from above. Thanks so much! We are > close to getting it to work! Your welcome, and please let us know how it goes. If the drive is supported, you should be able to get it working soon.
