This is a feature, not a bug...
lol
Ok, problem here is ide-scsi emulation. This IS a feature and a bug. The feature is
that all the software for cd burners doesn't understand all the new IDE burners. So
they
said "Well, if we fake 'em out and pretend that nasty ol' drive is scsi and everything
will work." Unfortunately, they forgot to update the fstab. Found the bug, ya did!
Fix the fstab an' all will be well.
replace /mnt/cdrom2 /mnt/cdrom2 supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom2 0 0
with /mnt/cdrom2 /mnt/cdrom2 supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/sr0 0 0
If that doesn't work try
/dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrw iso9660 defaults,noauto 0 0
if you want users to be able to mount & umount it then
/dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrw iso9660 defaults,noauto,users 0 0
