RE: Setting-up CDRW
OK, again thanks for many suggested avenues of inquiry. However I am at an
impass. I will try to update the situation completely here while answering
the questions of those who asked for more information.
<--------------Linux Setup-------------->
Intel 845 P4 1.6G; 768MbRAM
Debian (3 Woody) Knl: 2.4.18-bf2.4
I have no SCSI adapter installed on this computer
I have only the one CD drive
I am doing all this in / but could this be a permissions problem?
Essentially the problem is no SCSI device is being found.

Results of lsmod:

(sg was not there, I added it, no joy)

The following is the contents of the /etc/modules file:
usb-uhci
input
usbkbd
keybdev
agpgart
r128
sundance
ide-scsi
sg
<--------------X-------------->
So if I am reading this correctly, I do not have: scsi_mod and sr_mod. But
running modconf I did not see these modules under ide devices or under scsi
devices, and do not know where else to look if they are needed now.
<--------------X-------------->
I left the edit of /etc/lilo.conf below intact as apparently there is no
harm even if it is not needed.
/etc/lilo.conf
edited to insert: append="hdc=ide-scsi" on line 104 above
#Boot up Linux by default.
#
default=Linux
ran lilo -v with no errors reported
<--------------X-------------->
Among the other devices listed in fstab are two CD devices, and I have only
the one.
/dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0
and
/dev/scd0 /cdrw iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0
my /dev/cdrom is a symlink to hdc
I tried deleting the entry for the cdrom, and I tried using sc0
<--------------X-------------->
under /dev/ I have devices for loop0-15 and sg0-7
<--------------X-------------->
I was unable to make changes to modules.conf because one is now not able to
make changes there directly and I did not understand the directions for
using Modutls. I did not see anywhere where it looked like I should add the
suggested "options" lines:
options ide=cd ignore=hdc
alias scd0 sr_mod
pre-install sg modprobe ide-scsi
pre-install sr_mod modprobe ide-scsi
pre-install ide-scsi modprobe ide-cd

Subject: Re: Setting-up CDRW

Question:
/dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0
remains in /etc/fstab. Is this correct?
Do you have an extra cd-rom? Then this is correct.
No, I have only the one CD Drive.
<--------------X-------------->
When I run cdrecord I get the following message:
"Unable ... could this be the IDE device where you in fact use
ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?"
What did you give cdrecord as dev= argument? It needs to be the
(pseudo)scsi-device with bus,target,lun e.g. dev=0,0,0
Apologies: this was not cdrecord, this was kreateCD, which uses CD record.
<--------------X-------------->
When I run cdrecord -scanbus I get:
No such file or directory.
Thinking that this might be something like setting up a new partition, I
set up a
directory under / named "cdrw"
but that did not solve the problem.
<--------------X-------------->
Did you really load all necessary modules? Can you post the ide- and
scsi-section of your /boot/config-2.4.18? Are the appropriate entries
in /dev present? Especially /dev/sg*? The output looks like missing
/dev entries.
See above, I apparently do not have all the modules, but they are not
available from modconf
