_Again_, what does "uname -r" say?!?

_Did you run lilo_?!?

What does "dpkg -l cdrecord" say?  If it says "No packages found
matching cdrecord.", do:

   apt-get update
   apt-get install cdrecord


  ---------------------------------------
To sum up:

   uname -r
   lilo
   Search the archives.  I'll bet you a million bucks the answer is
        already there waiting for you!
   dpkg -l cdrecord
  ---------------------------------------


Other stuff you can try:

   lsmod | egrep 'sg|scsi|sr'

   run "modconf" as root.  Go into scsi drivers.  Say yes to ide-scsi,
         sg, and sr_mod.


If you DON'T answer the questions I ask above, I WILL NOT REPLY.  I
won't help you if YOU won't help me help you.
