Hello Harry, I've got mine working with the std. kernel but also have a few problems with my 2nd cd drive. If I do 'cdrecord --scanbus' my 2nd drive isn't seen. Cdrecord is a convenient method to see which scsi devices are recognized. > I have tried several things to correct this.

Cdwriter is the owner/group of the device file, not the major. Is your /dev/cdrom linked to /dev/scd0? I myself also wonder why they used this user/group for the device. What's the idea behind it? For my own problems: My 1st drive is a cdrw, the 2nd a cdrom drive. I can mount them both and use them for file browsing. But audio can't be played from my 2nd cdrom drive with e.g. kscd (well, it reads the tracks but when trying to play it says "ejected"). Neither does cdrecord see it when it scans the bus. With my previous MD6.0. I had it all working but I compiled the kernel myself. I even had parallell port scsi working to access my hp5200c scanner. This doesn't work either yet. When I examine messages.log I can see that both devices are recognized. Anyone any insights into this? Cu, Guy.
