Strange, it's usually the writer that is the problem. I know nothing
about KOnCD, but I've used X-CD-Roast to copy audio tracks from _my_
CDROM, which is technically a DVD now that I think about it. I read you as
saying you're trying to copy audio tracks.
Your modules.conf looks reasonable.
Both of my devices work through ide-scsi. If I want to mount a filesystem
from them, one of them is/dev/scd0 and the other /dev/scd1. You say you
can access the dvd ok through linux, except from the cdrecord or the
graphical front ends, so which device do you access ?
It's the best part of a year since I got my setup working, so the detail
is getting a little hazy. I'm assuming both the DVD and the CDRW are ATAPI
devices and using SCSI emulation, but your comment that you added the
alias for scd1 makes me question exactly how you have them, and the
kernel, configured. My memory says that if you compile ide-cd into the
kernel you will not be able to use a CDRW as a scsi CDROM. Hmm, apart from
writing to the CDRW, can you successfully mount an (iso) data CD in it
using /dev/scd0 ?
Also, which kernel ?
