Hello. So I had problem accessing CDROM. More specifically, I had trouble ripping CDs as a user, but no problem as root.
Turns out the problem was with SCSI emulation layer I'm using to get burning to work. Apparently when you turn on SCSI emulation using "ide-scsi" and "sg" modules, not only do you end up using /dev/scdN to access your CD, but also using /dev/sgN as well. So I needed to set permissions on /dev/sgN properly in addition to /dev/scdN. So if you want SCSI emulation working fully for your ATAPI/IDE CD device, you gotta do ALL these: - Pass "hdX=ide-scsi" to kernel (where hdX is the CD drive device) - Load "ide-scsi" and "sg" modules - Set permissions on /dev/hdX, /dev/scdN, and /dev/sgN correctly - Point /dev/cdrom symlink to /dev/scdN And depending on what you're doing with your CDROM, you'll either access it using /dev/hdX, /dev/scdN (maybe via /dev/cdrom), *or* /dev/sgN. *Very* intuitive, no? :P -Mark -- Mark K.
