So try modprobe ide-scsi (check with lsmod | grep ide-s) and do a link from ln -s /dev/scd2 /dev/dvd. I suppose scd0 is your burner and scd1 is your card-reader. To load ide-scsi on every boot put a single line ide-scsi in you /etc/modules. HTH Ciao Elimar -- Never make anything simple and efficient when a way can be found to make it complex and wonderful ;-)
