I am booting with the grub bootloader and the output of cat /boot/grub/grub.conf:

root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-31.9 ro root=LABEL=/
initrd /initrd-2.4.20-31.9.img

Now I have tried burning using cdrecord -v speed=24 dev=0,0,0 file.text
and the file does not burn to the cd properly...as i can not mount it later...
Can anyone provide any diagnostics on how to fix this ?????
thanks for the help JW --- though I question whether or not my server is properly
recognizing the CD-RW...how can I confirm this??? I am particularly concerned
this Lite-On CD-RW replaced a Lite-On CD-Rom...I think the output from dmesg
may be hinting at this problem...
All the output you've posted shows that the machine is recognizing the new drive. It all looks good to me, and if the machine wasn't seeing your new CD you wouldn't get any results in the cdrecord -scanbus or dmesg output. As I said, I think the issue may be with the command you're inputting, namely that you need to pass it the -data flag. -- J.W.
