Before recompiling it would be nice to try: # modprobe ide-scsi # modprobe sg
cdrecord might automatically load the "sg" module. As a cd-rom, the cd-writer can be mounted as /dev/scd0 (or the infamous /dev/sr0). You might also need to add the following to your /etc/lilo.conf (not sure; I use grub): append=" hdc=ide-scsi" where /dev/hdc is your cd-writer (YMMV). ZIP / LS120 driver owners might need a few more tricks to achieve IDE / SCSI harmony. Nothing which the unloading / loading of modules won't fix.
