Re: Sid and cdrecord

["Levi Bard" <levi@bard.sytes.net>]

You should indeed be using scsi-generic (sg) rather than pg.  I'm using
cdrecord with sid/unstable, and it works well for me, although I'm using
ide-scsi emulation rather than actual scsi devices.  I'm using kernel
2.4.17, with sg built in, as well as general scsi support.

cdrecord -scanbus:
