Re: cdrecord doesn't work

[Brad Eisan <brad@gimick.net>]

Florian,

I will need more detail. What kernel r u using? Contents of 
'/etc/modules' ? Have you added anything to '/etc/modules.conf' ? What 
does 'cdrecord -scanbus' return? Do you have a symbolic link from 
/dev/scd0 to /dev/xxxx (xxxx=what u call ur burner)? Have you added 
anything to 'append=' in lilo.conf? I am assuming the cdrw is not an 
scsi device and you are trying to emulate scsi for an ide cdrw, yes? Do 
you have two cd drives? If so, which is the burner (hdx) and what ide 
bus are they on?

I can't narrow down what your problem is without most of these details.

Brad...
