Hi,
Still nothing seems to work ok. Here's 'cdrecord -scanbus':
scsibus0:
0,0,0 0) 'COMPAQ ' 'DVD-ROM SD-612B ' 'BL16' Removable CD-ROM
0,1,0 1) *
0,2,0 2) *
0,3,0 3) *
0,4,0 4) *
0,5,0 5) *
0,6,0 6) *
0,7,0 7) *
and lilo.conf:
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
default=linux
keytable=/boot/us.klt
lba32
prompt
nowarn
timeout=100
message=/boot/message
menu-scheme=wb:bw:wb:bw
ignore-table
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=linux
root=/dev/hda5
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append=devfs=mount hdd=ide-scsi quiet
vga=788
read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=linux-nonfb
root=/dev/hda5
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append=devfs=mount hdc=ide-scsi

append=devfs=nomount hdc=ide-scsi failsafe
read-only
other=/dev/hda1
label=windows
table=/dev/hda
other=/dev/fd0
label=floppy
unsafe
and, lastly, fstab:
/dev/hda5 / ext3 noatime 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/hdb /mnt/iBM vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,unmask=0,codepage=850 0 0
/mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount

/mnt/cdrom2 /mnt/cdrom2 supermount
dev=/dev/hdc,fs=iso9660,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0
/mnt/floppy /mnt/floppy supermount

/dev/hda7 /mnt/win_d vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,codepage=850 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,codepage=850 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda6 swap swap defaults 0 0
What's wrong, what to do, and what-not...

Hi
I have a similar problem. I added an extra hd on my machine and therefore
changede the primary/secondary, master/slave settings for my dvd/cdrom
and cdrw. Now, when I run 'cdrecord -scanbus' it finds my dvd/cdrom and
no cdrw?!?
The line 'devfs=mount hdc=ide-scsi quiet' is already in my lilo.conf.

Jesper,
Inside the box are at least two ATA (once called IDE) data cables. A
combination of the master-slave or single relationship, and the cable used
determines the drive letter following hd. The table Charles gave, i expand
on here.
| Single/Master/Slave | Cable | hdX |
+-+-+-+
| Single | Primary | hda |
+-+-+-+
| Master | Primary | hda |
| Slave | Primary | hdb |
+-+-+-+
| Single |Secondary| hdc |
+-+-+-+
| Master |Secondary| hdc |
| Slave |Secondary| hdd |
+-+-+-+
Therefore in Linux the designating letter is set by the hardware location.
So if, when you installed your second drive you changed your CD-RW to a
slave you will have to change the appropriate reference letter for it. As
advised by others, you do this both in lilo.conf and /etc/fstab files.
Hope that helps.
