had a long time ago such a problem. it was not - of course in my case - ide-scsi. i mounted somehow the usb-device (as /dev/scda or something like that) and the trouble was over. did you - by the way - install pmount or hal? could make things easierOn Sunday 12 March 2006 22:43, Todd A.

Why are you complaining about missing ide-scsi then?Because ide-scsi is missing, and now cdrecord doesn't work. If you know something I don't about why cdrecord stopped working due to the kernel change, please share. Better yet, if you know how to fix the problem, please share.Repeat after me until you try it, my burner has been /dev/hdc, where it belongs now for over a year. dma just works with it while burning, k3b, old version from kde-3.3.0 just works.Make that the chorus of the song/whine you are writing.According to a very lengthy thread containing lots of gored ox sounds on the kernel mailing list, ide-scsi was busted in lots of subtle ways, and it was easier to actually address the issues of making the ide stuff work with cdroms etc than it was to fix the warts and long term bitrot in ide-scsi.As for cdrecord --scanbus, use the dev=/dev/hdc (or whatever it is on the ide buss cable) option and it should find your drive just fine. If you have a recent version of cdrecord that is, that may need an update, one that Schilling won't do, so get it from your distribution as that version is probably patched to just work.-- Re-Interpreting Historic Miracles with SED #141: %s/water/wine/g
