The CD-Writing howto: http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/CD-Writing-HOWTO.html explains how a lilo "append" statement is added to stop the CDRW drive from associating with the 'ide-cd' module and instead use 'ide-scsi' (if 'ide-cd' is compiled into the kernel). Otherwise your SCSI emulation modules will load but the CDRW doesn't use them. If 'ide-cd' loads as a module you will have to modify "/etc/conf.modules" (or something similar) and follow the HOWTO directions. This mostly worked for me, but it was using a stock redhat 6.2 kernel and one of the modules wouldn't load automatically for me (so I did it in "/etc/rc.d/rc.local" until I have time to bang on it some more, or better yet compile a custom kernel).

I think the burner will use the ATAPI stuff by default if it's there. When I compile my kernels to do scsi emulation, I don't even compile in ATAPI cdrom support at all. > -----Original Message----- > From: Dan Drake [mailto:drake at lemongecko.myip.org] > Sent: Thursday, June 07, 2001 7:38 AM > To: tclug-list at mn-linux.org > Subject: [TCLUG] burners and SCSI emulation > > > On Wed, 6 Jun 2001, Timothy Wilson wrote: > > All's well now. > > Unfortunately, not for me! > > I can rip CDs no problem, but cdrecord refuses to work.
