I`ve tried your solutions, but I recieve another type of error, specificly::
alpha:/home/mechanical# ln /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom
ln: /dev/cdrom: File exists
alpha:/home/mechanical# ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom
ln: /dev/cdrom: File exists
alpha:/home/mechanical#
The same error occures when I switch the /dev/scd0 and /dev/cdrom in the ln
command.
Any suggestions for this ?
Thanks for the help so far guys, i appreciate it.

Since you are in SCSI emulation, you need to change softlink:
/dev/scd0 ->/dev/cdrom
(check dmsg to be sure)
Actually, you do not need to recompile kernel to get ide-scsi
to work. Debian default kernel has module support. Enable them
by adding following line in lilo.conf
append="hdc=ide-scsi apm=on"
apm=on was for auto-shutdown-power.
If you had hdd as cd-RW, change to hdd=.
Good luck.

I recompiled my kernel (2.4.1) last night to include support for my new cd
writer, but now that i have done that, the switch to IDE to SCSI emulation has
changed the whereabouts of my DVD drive and my cd writer. For instance::
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ mount /cdrom
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom,
or too many mounted file systems
(aren't you trying to mount an extended partition,
instead of some logical partition inside?)
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$
(and yes, i have a CD in there - i`m trying to install my Myth II Cd by Loki ;-)
Or if I try::
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ mount /dev/hdc
mount: can't find /dev/hdc in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ mount /dev/hdd
mount: can't find /dev/hdd in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$
I know those drive locations are correct, b/c "dmesg | less" pointed them out.
Where can I find my drives?
Thanks,
Jerrud

rm /dev/cdrom then do the linking... ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom I
personally call my writer /dev/cdrw and my writer /dev/cdrom though...
Just a preference. BTW- The format for the ln command is always- ln
-s sourcefile filetobelinked
Good luck
