Ass for auto loading the ide-scsi module so you can mount it easy, there are two suggested ways (both from this list, check archive for details) in your /etc/conf.modules add either alias scsi_hostadapter0 ide-scsi I may have typed this one wrong add a _ between host and adapter if so or alias block-major-11 ide-scsi and you will not have to worry about ide-scsi needing modprobed by hand. -- MandrakeSoft http://www.mandrakesoft.com/ --Axalon

If it is an ATAPI drive, then it will work as a reader directly. That is, unless you have done something to tell Linux that it is a simulated SCSI device.If so, remove that, and you should have a CDROM reader. For kernels 2.2.10 or later, to utilise the writer part of the drive (since ALL CD writers use the SCSI command set - even across an ATAPI interface) as superuser you must manually: rmmod ide-cd // if it exists modprobe ide-scsi Use cdrecord -scanbus to check that the writer is now accessible. After writing is completed, remember to put it back to reader state as superuser by manually: rmmod ide-scsi modprobe ide-cd// if it existed I hope this gives you enough starting clues to get both sides working . You do not have to specify which device if your kernel is 2.2.10 or later. Finally, you should never attempt to mount a CD writer. The writing software provides the SCSI device lister (-scanbus) and the hardware driver. The kernel is NOT involved. One day (perhaps) the kernel will support CD writers in a generic fashion .

I think they generally both work... at least, mine can be mounted with either sr0 or scd0. -Tom

[expert] mounting cdrw
Is there a way to mount my cdrw drive so that I can view it like my cdrom? It's an ATAPI BCE 62IE drive and works fine for writing. I've tried mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdd /mnt/cdrw and that doesn't work, it says wrong fs type or too many mounts. I tried a couple other fs types and they didn't work either (i.e. auto the way the cdrom is configured in /etc/fstab). Is there a way to do this? DvB
