I can make just a couple of remarks: 1) 'hdc=ide-scsi' should be added to kernel loading parameters. I don't know how to do it with 'loadlin' though. 2) The first line in 'conf.modules' looks rather suspicious. I would try to remove it temporary just to make a try. 3) Add line 'ide-scsi' to '/etc/modules'. 4) Set permissions to '666' or even something more relaxed on both '/dev/cdrom' and '/dev/scd0'. Hope it helps. Serge
RE: [newbie] Got everything else to work but still no CDRW
when you execute 'cdrecord -scanbus' as root does it list your CDRW as a SCSI device? You have not mentioned anything regarding appending 'hdc=ide-scsi' to your kernel boot command. after changing your conf.modules file you must run 'depmod'. -Original Message- From: Jim Weimer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 30 October 2000 00:01 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] Got everything else to work but still no CDRW I'm haveing problems accessing the CDRW on a recent install of Mandrake 7.1 on a 166Hz pentium with 64 meg ram.
