Apt-get install wodim confirms I have the latest release. I have also run apt-get dist-upgrade but still get the same result from wodim -devices.
What's wrong?

What is the output of wodim -scanbus ?

Cannot open SCSI driver

What device does your CD-ROM/DVD normally use?


/dev/hdc

Is your optical drive accessed through the normal ATAPI driver or through ide-scsi (SCSI emulation for IDE devices)?

In lsmod I find ide_cd and cdrom uses ide_cd

Is SCSI compiled into your kernel--at least as a module? If so, is that module loaded? I think that the 'sg' (SCSI general?) module is used by wodim.


I am using a linux-image-2.6.18 kernel.  Apparently it was not compiled
with SCSI emulation as this should not be needed.


SCSI emulation is probably compiled as a module. Put this on the kernel command line:

hdc=ide-scsi

That should allow the SCSI emulation driver to take control of that interface. You might have to "modprobe ide-scsi" after bootup.
