RE: Can not acces ide cdrom
Bob,
Sorry, I think I misunderstood your situation. You have a CDROM and a CDRW.
Your CDRW is actually a real SCSI device? I was thinking it was scsi
emulation. If I understand this now, the ide CDROM should NOT be being
pointed to the scd0 or anything else but itself. (You may actually have
implimented scsi emulation for the CDROM, which could be another cause of
this problem.) If I have again misunderstood, and you are speaking about two
ide devices (one ide CDROM and one ide CDRW with scsi emulation) you need to
link the CDROM to the scd0...I would think directly not via the CDRW...and
also as just posted, check permissions. Next up you need a more experienced
advisor. If you are speaking about one ide CDRW with scsi emulation then it
needs to be linked to the scd and there should not be a second device in
/dev ... just /dev/CDROM pointing to scd0.
Best Wishes!

It already is indirectly, ie /dev/cdrom symlinks to /dev/cdrom0 which
symlinks to /dev/scd0. Reading from the scsi device is ok. It is the
ide device that got lost.
What I'm not clear on is whether I need to have the /dev/cdrom1
linked to /dev/sc1 as it now is or /dev/hdb as it is ide.
