Re: DVD/CDRW drives support
Er, yes. The file /etc/modutils/ide-cd passes the
parameters to the module when it is loaded.
Try the following now (per the CD-Writing-HOWTO),
add the following lines to /etc/modules/actions:
pre-install sg modprobe ide-scsi
pre-install sr_mod modprobe ide-scsi
pre-install ide-scsi modprobe ide-cd
Then I suggest using modconf to unload:
/kernel/drivers/ide ide-cd
and then make sure the following are loaded:
/kernel/drivers/scsi/ sg
/kernel/drivers/scsi/ sr_mod
/kernel/drivers/scsi/ ide-scsi
/kernel/drivers/scsi/ scsi_mod
That should (re)load the needed modules and hopefully the
drive will come up as scsi emulated on /dev/scd0. Try
cdrecord -scanbus again. Any other cdrom-like drives
(besides hdd) will still be using the ide-cd module unless
you exclude them in the options line also.
