Hello,
make sure the modules for ide-scsi emulation are loaded before mounting
the cd.
One way to load the modules is manually by using the command
modprobe ide-scsi
To automate the loading of the modules put the following lines in a
file, e.g. idescsi.mod, in the directory /etc/modutils/ :
# from the CD-Writing-HOWTO
alias scd0 sr_mod # load sr_mod upon access of scd0
pre-install sg modprobe ide-scsi # before sg, load ide-scsi
pre-install sr_mod modprobe ide-scsi # before sr_mod, load ide-scsi
and run update-modules. This will put these lines in the config
file /etc/modules.conf for the kernel module loader.
Sadly there is one point I don't know: how to tell kmod to use the
new configuration file. Of course a reboot will do the job (but
that's like working with a crappy Windows machine :-( - I'm sure
there is a better way to do this under Linux - because everything
works better with Linux :-)
Bye
