I've had the cdrw as spec'ed in dmesg below working before however for
some reason it's just not happening for me now. I have included the
symbolic links I made as well as /etc/fstab, commands I have run, grub
and dmesg snippets. Anyone help. If I get in /var/log/messages that
Can't locate module block-major-11 does that mean that I don't have
sr_mod set as a loadable module when the kernel was compiled .config
appended to end of message. Shit, I'm probably going around in circles
here, but please help a newbie. Sorry about the size as well.
Cheers,
Antony Clarke
