So I've been working some more on getting an external USB CD-R drive connected to my Redhat 7.3 system with a 2.4.20 kernel. The problem is that it gets detected as a USB device but never gets attached as a SCSI device. I recently spoke with someone who had a similar problem and was able to get his drive (same drive as mine) working by issuing a echo "scsi add-single-device 0 0 0 0" > /proc/scsi/scsi command after plugging in the drive and having it detected by the USB system. This, unfortunately, doesn't work for me. I've also tried different SCSI ID's and Adaptor numbers also with no go. I already have a scsi device (an ide-scsi, atapi tape drive) that shows up at 0 0 0 0 and my CD-R, when turned on, mentions scsi1 in the line about loading usb-storage. However, using 1 0 0 0 doesn't work either. Is there a way to determine which Host/Device/LUN/etc. a USB Mass Storage device is using in order to use the add-single-device command correctly?
