Hi folks, sorry for the FAQ. But, I've read lots of howto's and tons of
threads on the subject in various boards, and am more confused than when
I started.
The trouble is with my IDE CD-ROM burner. I'm not trying to burn at this
point, just read data CDs reliably. Right now it's hit and miss. An
example:
ls /mnt/cdrom - I see the files.
cp /mnt/cdrom/*.jpg /home/me/documents/ - Some files make it, some
don't
The ones that don't do they have long file names with gap's ?
ls /mnt/cdrom - I see a list of files, but each says it's an invalid file or directory. I believe I need to switch to ide-scsi from ide-cd, but I'm not sure. Is there a simple way to get this working? The howto's I've read seem to require a mastery of Linux I just don't have.

This is the same cdrw as one I have in a linux box and it works ok.
Looks ok to me.except that,mine reads,
more /etc/fstab
/dev/hda1 / ext3 defaults 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
/dev/hda6 /home ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom auto codepage=850,iocharset=iso8859-1,noauto,nosuid,ro,user,nodev 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom auto user,iocharset=iso8859-15,umask=0,exec,codepage=850,ro,noauto 0 0
why not try this, and see if it makes any difference
What about /etc/lilo.conf
append=" hdc=ide-scsi "
I guess you have it since it would not show up on the bus if it didn't,
but is it exactly right.
