Ok, now I'm frustrated. I have a SCSI CD/RW (Yamaha). that has worked flawlessly for a long time. A while back, I changed the distro on the box from RedHat, to Mandrake 8.1. After that, my CD/RW won't work any more. it still functions as a regular CDrom, but the writer errors out. Cdrecord (and X-Cd-roast as well) return the error that it cannot detect the drive.
This thing has always worked in the past. Can some kind sole point me in a direction to start looking as to why it died with MDK? Let me know what information you need, and I'll supply it. For starters, it's a Yamaha SCSI CD/RW, it's an old faithful drive. And as I said, the Cdrom part works great, it just won't write. If I try to run scanbus, I get: #> cdrecord -scanbus Cdrecord 1.10 (i586-mandrake-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2001 Jörg Schilling cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open SCSI driver. cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are root. And it "used" to work! Any suggestions on this? I've been digging through the archives for others that have dropped off the radar with 8.1, but haven't found anything yet.
