In answer to the query, Yes, I have 'hdd=ide-scs'i in the lilo.conf file. MMC/ harddrake sees the burner. When you try to mount it, the error "device /dev/scd0 does not exists". Yet, MMC will clearly show that /dev/scd0 is the correct device. When you chase down the /dev directory, the device file is missing. My problem is that I do not know how to trigger harddrake into creating the missing device file (/dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target3/lun0/cd alias /dev/scd0) I did try disconnecting the IDE cable and re-booting. But, alas, no change when I re-connect the cable. Perhaps, someone can show how to manually create the missing file?
