I really should have posted to the list anyway. This is what I wrote:

Hi Terry, I rebuilt my "Woody" box this morning. You are right the default kernel 2.4.18bf does not support a CD burner. I think you may be wrong about the reason though. What I did was to run modconf and install the "sg" module. (you need both the "sg" and "ide-scsi" modules but the "ide-scsi" module was listed as having already been installed. I then cd to the /dev directory and rm cdrom followed by ln -s scd0 cdrom This was insufficient to get cdrecord working so I did aptitude install kernel-image-2.4.18-1-386 and rebooted using that kernel. I am burning a CD using the box (not this box) as I type. I will be out for an hour or so but will be home later this afternoon or this evening. Feel free to 'phone if you have a problem. cheers, Ken
