So I just got me a new internal 52/24/52X LG burner (slack 9.0), plugged it in, and it got detected fine as /dev/hdc (the old CDROM was made slave and now is detected as /dev/hdd). It works fine reading, but I cannot configure it to burn CDs. Here's some output:

# sudo cdrecord -scanbus

That's my 4X USB external burner it detected, not the new one. When I didn't plug in the USB burner I got this:

# sudo cdrecord -scanbus

here's a snippet of dmesg:

But I cannot figure out which device the new burner uses to write. Any suggestions?

TIA

Have you passed hdc=ide-scsi to the kernel or put it into your bootloader?

Is it configured and what is the device? Command this to find out:

Jiggy. Thank you. The only config step I was missing was "hdc=ide-scsi" in lilo.conf. Now I'ma go back up some of my enormous amount of crap.
