Thank you, Edouard. <br>

I think you assume 2.4 kernel, but I'm using 2.6.5 ...<br>
<br>
I followed /usr/share/doc/cdrecord/README.ATAPI.setup for 2.6*<br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">Kernel 2.6.*<br>
============<br>
Usually you would not want to use ide-scsi with Kernel 2.6 for<br>
CD-writing, the new kernel provides a (from a user's point of view)<br>
superior access method that finally supports DMA access when writing<br>
Audio-CDs or using -raw.<br>
<br>
If you are converting from ide-scsi first undo the steps 2-7 described
above.<br>
<br>
1. Become root, try "grep -i dvd .: /var/log/kern.log" to find out
where your<br>
ATAPI-devices are connected to (hd?-names), this should show
something like:<br>
Jan 10 23:40:07 downhill kernel: hdg: FOO-BAR WRI-0815W, ATAPI
CD/DVD-ROM drive<br>
Memorize the device (hdg in the example).<br>
<br>
2. Become root, setup cdrecord's environment - edit
/etc/default/cdrecord:<br>
CDR_DEVICE=cdrw<br>
cdrw=/dev/hdg 4 8m<br>
Input the right values, the fields are described in the manpage<br>
of cdrecord. Alternatively, you may use this values as<br>
cdrecord-parameter or take a frontend with an own configuration<br>
scheme, then you don't need to modify /etc/default/cdrecord.<br>
The columns must be separated by tabs.<br>
<br>
3. That's it, 'cdrecord -prcap' should find your writer.<br>
<br>
4. If you wish to allow non-root users to write CDs, you must give them<br>
permissions to do so. Run "dpkg-reconfigure cdrecord" to set
suid-root<br>
permissions on the executable, then add your users to the cdrom group<br>
83</blockquote>
but get <br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">Tux:~# cdrecord -prcap<br>
<snip><br>
scsidev: '1,5,0'<br>
scsibus: 1 target: 5 lun: 0<br>
cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open '/dev/sg*'. Cannot
open SCSI driver.<br>
</blockquote>
and similarly for -scanbus, although xcdroast works. <br>
<br>
I am using the values in the example above for /etc/default/cdrecord.<br>
<br>
'man cdrecord' seems to go on forever.<br>
<br>
What am I missing here ?<br>

<pre wrap="">Did you try to emulate a ide-scsi ?
I just resolve this problem with it by pointing /dev/scd0 to
/dev/scsi/whatever_target_lunetc....
First modify /etc/lilo.conf (MDK, maybe different for Debian ?)
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=linux
root=/dev/hda5
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append="quiet devfs=mount hdb=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi"
vga=788
read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=linux-nonfb
root=/dev/hda5
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append="devfs=mount hdb=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi"
read-only
Now in /etc/modules.conf add the 2 follwoing lines :
options ide-cd
pre-install sg modprobe ide-scsi
reboot or reload your modules
and try :
cdrecord -scanbus
You'll get the SCSI numbers to link with /dev/scd0
Make sure that /etc/fstab is conform to this new config
/mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount \
dev=/dev/scd0,fs=iso9660,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-15 0 0
Not being a guru, it may not work but I did install few of them like this and
never failed.
However trying to read a DVD with mplayer or xine is still a pain !

<pre wrap="">Thanks Harry,
I have no 'dvd' entry in /dev so I used 'mkdir dvd' but keep getting the
message that
'mount point /dev/dvd does not exist'. Previously (following someone
from deb-user) I did
rm -rf /dev/dvd
ln -s /dev/hdc /mnt/dvd
with no luck.
Similarly, I get

<blockquote type="cite">
<pre wrap="">Tux:~# mount /cdrw
mount: mount point /cdrw does not exist

<pre wrap="">How does one create mount-points ?
Is there an automounting option for DVD's in gnome ?
[... and completely off-topic - how does one get a gmial account ?]

<pre wrap="">Hi,
What I would try to do is, check if there is anything in /dev/dvd
directory, and if not delete it. Then create a symlink to /dev/hdc.
This should fix the DVD side of it. Also, DVD movies don't need to be
mounted to played, like Audio CDs.
If the CD-RW is in your fstab (like it is), mount using "mount /cdrw".
I don't know why you can't mount both at the same time, but as I
mentioned above, you don't need to.
Cheers,
Harry.
