Run cdrecord with -scanbus
look for your cdrom device it'll be similar to this:
2,0,0 200) 'HP ' 'CD-Writer+ 8100 ' '1.0g' Removable CD-ROM
replace the 0,4,0 with the three comma delimeted numbers that represent your
burner, and try it again.
If it does not show up, then you do not have ide-scsi loaded, I don't know if
you have gone through it, but you need to know which hdx your CDBurner sits
on, add it to lilo, and rerun lilo -v. (warning, any errors here will likely
render your computer non-bootable, make a bootdisk with mkbootdisk first! <G>)
IE:
append="hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi"
That lives underneath the root= line in my /etc/lilo.conf I have two drives
there because I burn cd to cd. You can find your CDRom's address by typing
dmesg | grep hd
IE:
[awyatt@gigabyte awyatt]$ dmesg | grep hd
hda: WDC AC34000L, ATA DISK drive
hdb: WDC AC23200L, ATA DISK drive
hdc: Hewlett-Packard CD-Writer Plus 8100, ATAPI CDROM drive
hdd: 685A, ATAPI CDROM drive
Then you'll want to add the following line to /etc/modules.conf if it's not
there already.
alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi
You may already have this done for you depending on your distro. You can test
for it by typing:
dmesg | grep sr
IE:
[awyatt@gigabyte awyatt]$ dmesg | grep sr
Detected scsi CD-ROM sr0 at scsi2, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
Detected scsi CD-ROM sr1 at scsi2, channel 0, id 1, lun 0
sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 24x/24x writer cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray
sr1: scsi3-mmc drive: 6x/6x xa/form2 tray
Hope this helps!
