Re: Yamaha CDR not working
Did you compile ide-scsi support ? If not, append a
hdx=ide-scsi
to your append= line in lilo.conf, where hdx is you CDRW drive.
Then 'modprobe ide-scsi sr_mod sg' and in the end 'cdrecord -scanbus'.
This should work. There is no problem if some of them are compiled as
modules or into the kernel. It is important that you boot with
hdx=ide-scsi and that you have support for scsi, ide-scsi, scsi cdrom
(sr_mod) and scsi generic (sg). There was another thread on ATAPI CDRW a
few days ago. Search the archives for details.
Good Luck,
Ionut
