My system is SCSI based, and has a SCSI CD ( Rd only) installed. I have installed a firewire/usb card, and have an external connected to it. The system loads an ieee1394 driver, and an sbp2 driver, and shows the Cd as a node.

Dale - Thanks very much for your response. You are right on the number!!
I just needed another way of telling the system where and what my CDROM driver
was.
I added '/ hdd=ide-scsi' to the end of my "kernel' line in Grub.conf and that
did it!!
Bingo! Boy, isn't life great..
Thanks a million.
Well, if it is IDE you need to have scsi emulation set up in grub. Here
is an example for my burner:
#boot=/dev/hde
default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.20-2.2)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-2.2 ro root=LABEL=/ hda=ide-scsi vga=791
initrd /initrd-2.4.20-2.2.img
The line you need to add is hdX=ide-scsi
Where x is your drive...

a SCSI CD-R be sure that the driver for the controller is loaded. If it
is an IDE burner, look into documentation for ide-scsi. I've never used
this myself so can't offer much insight. With SCSI though it should just
work provided the driver for the controller is used.
it would be helpful if you provided the brand/model of the drive(s), the
brand/model of the controller card(s) that they are connected to, and
whether or not any other devices are on these controller card(s) that you
can access (easy way to determine if the driver is loaded or not).
