Re: [PLUG] CD Writer

[Gregory Weber <angler@speakeasy.net>]

I have tried some of the suggestions and read through the CD Writing How To 
and I am still not getting both my CDRW and my CRROM to be detected by 
Xcdroast.  As I understand it, both need to be set up using the ide-scsi 
module.  To repeat some of the previous information

RH7.1
Acer 1208A CDRW set up as the Master with the CDROM as the slave on the 
secondary IDE.

>From /dev things look like this.

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            9 Aug 10 22:20 cdrom -> /dev/scd0
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            8 Sep 16 10:40 cdrom1 -> /dev/hdd

I did try to change the cdrom1 to piont to /dev/scd1 (which does seem to 
exist) with no effect.  When I reboot it is set back to /dev/hdd.  The HOW TO 
seemed to suggest that I need to modify lilo.conf (copied below).  I added 
the second append that you see below , but don't know if this is valid.  The 
first append was already there from the RH install.  

I am still reading through the HOW TO, but any additional insight would be 
appreciated.

Thanks,

Greg
